Espresso Martini
Likened to a Vodka & Red Bull for the discerning, the caffeine-loaded Espresso Martini consists of generous shots of vodka and espresso with coffee liqueur...

Amazing drink but imho needs some sugar syrup. I’ve made this drink for many people and 95% preferred it with some sugar… amount, well that’s down for you, I like 10 mls of vanilla sugar syrup. Def down to personal taste

Out of necessity (read: that's what I had in the house at the time) I made this with Borghetti rather than Kahlua or Galliano and boy, it did work well!

Borghetti is excellent for it, but the sugar syrup is a must in that case. We used to use Borghetti at work, but it was too bitter for general tastes (the public eh?) so we switched to Kahlua.

I've made this with 1 ml of Crème de Cacao for some added sweetness/cacao & vanilla flavor.

I used Ararat 5 year old brandy (I'm not a big vodka fan), Luxardo Espresso and 5 ml of maple syrup for this one, it was pretty tasty.

i got onces expresso martini served with 5 coffee beans..thats wrong right?

A pile of coffee beans is becoming the new norm - sadly not the 3 beans standing for health, wealth and happiness that used to be standard. Many bars have also dropped the fresh espresso coffee in favour of concentrate from a carton.

I agree with the salt edition, even with my preferred spirit in this drink - Nardini Mandorla (intense, almond-flavoured grappa variant) Also the better the espresso, the better the drink. Even with Mr Black, sugar syrup is a no-no and ‘Nespresso’ doesn’t really cut it either!

I made one for a good friend this evening and after a little experimentation she preferred a little more Kahlua. 3 cl was perfect.

Made with Hangar 1 vodka and Revolution Chocolate and Coffee liquor. I was surprised that the vodka was so prevalent. I expected the espresso to overpower. It is more like a martini than I expected. I will try some other favorite vodkas, do not be afraid to use the good stuff as it will shine through.

If you want to try other vodkas, Absolut Rasberri is amazing in this.
