What is Espresso Martini?
The Espresso Martini is one of those cocktails that feels effortlessly sophisticated, almost like it knows it’s the star of the night before you even lift the glass. It blends bold espresso with smooth vodka and a touch of coffee liqueur for a drink that’s both energizing and indulgent. I believe this combo hits that perfect sweet spot between dessert and pick me up, making it a favorite for evenings when you want something that wakes you up and winds you down at the same time.
What makes it even more appealing is how beautifully it photographs. The creamy foam layer, the rich chocolate brown tone, and those three little coffee beans quietly suggest that you’re about to sip something special. It’s no wonder it’s still trending across social platforms and cocktail bars everywhere. If you’re building a menu or polishing your recipe catalog, this one’s practically mandatory.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
