How Do You Make A Tasty Espresso Martini?
I am a big coffee…and martini lover, and will not give up a chance at ordering and enjoying an espresso martini when we are out. I wanted to recreate this perfect after dinner cocktail at home, and have found a tasty version. Start by chilling martini glass in freezer. Add ice to shaker. Pour 2 parts Starbucks cream liquor to 1 part vodka. I like greygoose vodka. If you would like to add espresso, do so now, make sure it is chilled. Amount depends on your preference. A splash should do. Place top on shaker and shake. This is an important step that should not be taken lightly. You really want to put some muscle into it. When your hands are slightly frozen, you know it is time to pour. Take martini glass out of freezer. Pour your espresso concoction into glass. If you don’t have a built in strainer, use one to eliminate the ice from falling into the glass. Top with whipped cream if your heart desires.
