Ingredients

Scale

Espresso Martini Ingredients

  • 3 cups freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 6 fluid ounces vanilla vodka
  • 6 fluid ounces coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa®)
  • 2 fluid ounces hazelnut liqueur (such as Frangelico®)
  • Black onyx cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Espresso: Brew 3 cups of espresso freshly using your preferred espresso machine or method to ensure a robust and rich coffee flavor essential for the cocktail.
  2. Chill the Espresso: Allow the brewed espresso to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled; this prevents unwanted dilution and ensures a smooth frozen texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a blender or cocktail shaker, combine the chilled espresso, 1 cup simple syrup, 6 ounces of vanilla vodka, 6 ounces of coffee liqueur, and 2 ounces of hazelnut liqueur. Blend or shake vigorously to mix all ingredients and create a frothy texture.
  4. Freeze Mixture: Transfer the mixed liquid into an ice cream maker or freezer-safe container. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the mixture reaches a frozen, slushy consistency. Alternatively, if freezing in a container, stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until fully frozen but still scoopable.
  5. Serve the Cocktail: Scoop the frozen espresso martini mixture into chilled martini glasses or cocktail glasses. Lightly dust the surface with black onyx cocoa powder for an appealing and aromatic presentation.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, add a few coffee beans or a twist of orange peel as garnish, then serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing and indulgent frozen cocktail.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly brewed espresso and ensure it is fully cooled before blending.
  • Simple syrup can be adjusted for sweetness according to taste preferences.
  • Use high-quality liqueurs like Kahlúa® and Frangelico® for authentic flavor.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, manually stirring the mixture during freezing helps maintain a smooth texture.
  • Dust with cocoa powder just before serving to keep it visually appealing.
