Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass

This Espresso Martini is just one of many coffee-like Martini recipes being made today. I like this one because it actually uses chilled espresso that gives that caffeinated kick you just can't duplicate with coffee liqueurs. This is a fantastic before or after dinner drink, happy hour cocktail, or, really, anytime you desire a great coffee flavored cocktail.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 3/4 oz Kahlua coffee liqueur
  • 1/4 oz white creme de cacao
  • 1 oz cold espresso

Preparation:

  1. Pour the vodka and Kahlua, creme de cacao and espresso into a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
