A creamy brown cocktail served in a martini glass, garnished with three coffee beans, sits on a reflective table in a dimly lit bar setting.

The Flat White Martini cocktail is a rich drink that combines the assertive flavour of espresso with the smooth, velvety texture of Baileys Irish Cream. Inspired by the popular flat white coffee, this beverage adds a detail of depth by layering vodka and cream liqueur into the mix, resulting in a dessert-like texture.

What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
  • Baileys Original Irish Cream (or any Irish cream liqueur of choice)
    15ml
  • Vodka
    20ml
  • Freshly brewed espresso (cooled)
    20ml
  • Coffee beans, for garnish
    3
  • Ice cubes
    For shaking

Method

  1. Step 1

    Pour the Baileys Original Irish Cream, vodka and cold espresso into an ice-filled shaker to create a smooth, creamy foundation with a rich coffee flavour.

  2. Step 2

    Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to cool and combine the assertive ingredients to derive a silky, foamy texture.

  3. Step 3

    Strain into a cold coupe or martini cocktail glass to preserve the froth and display the drink in a clean, café-style manner.

  4. Step 4

    Garnish with three coffee beans on top for aroma, visual appeal and as a tribute to the classic espresso martini cocktail.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Use freshly made espresso that has been slightly cooled—hot espresso will melt the ice too rapidly while shaking, diluting the drink’s texture and potency.

  • Chill the martini cocktail glass ahead of time to maintain the drink’s creamy smoothness and preserve the frothy coating generated while shaking.
