VodkaShake
Espresso Martini
Vodka, coffee liqueur, hot espresso. Shake like you mean it so the crema sits.
A double scales every liquid. Garnish stays one. Open Double to see the pour.
The pour
One drink. Coupe · 6 oz. Ice: none in the glass.
Vodka
2 oz
Coffee liqueur
¾ oz
Espresso
1 oz
Simple syrup
¼ oz
How
- Pull the espresso. Let it sit 30 seconds so it doesn't melt the ice into soup.
- Shake hard 15 seconds with ice. Fine-strain into a coupe.
Garnish
Three coffee beans.
Tips
- Mr Black can replace Kahlúa and the syrup. Tia Maria is drier.
- Vanilla vodka is a dessert version. Unflavored is the drink.
The double
Two of every pour in a wine glass. Still three beans. Two shots of espresso.
Sour and stirred rule: every liquid × 2, garnish × 1, bigger glass.
