Coffee lovers rejoice. This one is smooth with just the right amount of pick me up! Let’s talk liqueurs: Almond liqueurs such as Disarano or Amaretto are perfect accompaniments to a coffee liqueur such as Khalua. Together, they provide a sweetener. Espresso martinis can be a little time consuming, but they are worth the effort. The coconut milk adds just a bit of creaminess, and boosts up the foam factor which is critical to hold your garnish.
Ingredients
- 2 shots of espresso, cooled
- 1½ ounces vodka
- 1½ ounces almond liqueur
- 1 ounces coffee liqueur
- 1½ ounces unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
Brew two shots of espresso and set to the side to let cool while you build your martini. Add almond liqueur, coffee liqueur, coconut milk and vodka to a shaker. Add in espresso and shake vigorously with ice, for about 40-50 seconds. The extra mixing is needed to create a frothy foam on top. Strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe and garnish with cocoa powder or a coffee bean.
