Espresso Martini Cocktail

The Espresso Martini is a modern classic that brilliantly merges two beloved vices: caffeine and cocktails. Made with vodka, coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa), and freshly brewed espresso, it’s a rich, smooth drink with a foamy crema on top. Garnished with three coffee beans (for health, wealth, and happiness), it’s equal parts elegant and energizing. Whether served after dinner or before a night out, the Espresso Martini never fails to impress—especially with its delicious jolt of flavor and flair.
