Espresso Martini
Espresso Martini
The Espresso Martini, also known as the vodka espresso, is a popular cold, caffeinated alcoholic drink. It blends brewed espresso with vodka, coffee liqueur and simple syrup to give a flavor profile that is bittersweet and strong with a velvety texture. The Espresso Martini is not a true Martini, as it contains neither gin nor vermouth, but it is often served in a chilled Martini glass, often shaken vigorously to create froth and garnished with coffee beans.
