Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 2 oz fresh espresso cooled
  • 1 oz Baileys
  • ½ oz kahlúa
  • 3 coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  • Add all of the espresso martini ingredients plus 6-8 medium size ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Close tightly and shake hard for 30-60 seconds until the outside is frosty.
  • Strain into a a chilled coupe glass or martini glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans. Enjoy responsibly!

Notes

  • Make it more Irish by using Irish whiskey in place of the vodka.
  • Is this drink gluten free? Most distilled alcohols are considered gluten free. I use Titos vodka which is made from corn and states it is gluten free. Baileys is also distilled and is gluten free.
  • Can I make this dairy free? Baileys makes an almond milk version of their classic Irish cream, so give it a try.
  • Batching: Because they need to be shaken to achieve the beautiful foam on top, espresso martinis are tricky to batch. The most you can likely fit in your cocktail shaker is 2 drinks. Be patient if making for a crowd.
