Espresso Martini

1. Chill the Glass

Fill your coupe glass with ice water to chill it while you prepare the drink, or place it in the freezer for a few minutes.

2. Shake Vigorously

Empty the ice from your glass. Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice cubes. Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and sugar syrup. Shake hard for 15 seconds to ensure the espresso creates a rich, creamy froth.

3. Strain

Double-strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into your chilled glass to keep out tiny ice shards and preserve the smooth foam.
