Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 oz freshly brewed espresso, cooled
- 1 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz nonalcoholic spirit (coffee liqueur alternative or Seedlip Spice)
- Ice
- Optional: Three coffee beans for garnish
Instructions
- Brew Espresso: Brew fresh espresso using your preferred method and allow it to cool slightly to avoid melting the ice too quickly in the shaker.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour the cooled espresso, simple syrup, and your choice of nonalcoholic spirit.
- Add Ice and Shake: Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to ensure a smooth texture without ice shards.
- Garnish: Optionally, top with three coffee beans for a classic espresso martini presentation.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, substitute brewed espresso with cold brew concentrate.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup according to your taste preferences.
- Use a high-quality nonalcoholic spirit to best mimic the coffee liqueur flavor.
- Ensure the espresso is not too hot to avoid diluting the cocktail when shaken with ice.
