Espresso Martini Cocktail Recipe
If you’re into rich, bold flavours with a bit of attitude, the Espresso Martini hits the sweet spot between a coffee kick and a smooth, balanced drink. It brings together freshly brewed espresso with coffee liqueur and vodka for deep coffee notes, a hint of sweetness and that lovely creamy foam on top, giving every sip a full-flavoured boost. Unlike lighter or fruitier serves, this one leans into robust espresso flavour and smooth, round texture, making it a great choice for after-dinner moments or evenings with friends.
