Espresso Martini

Espresso Martini is a chilled coffee flavoured cocktail that combines coffee, vodka and coffee liquer which is then chilled over ice and served in a Martini glass. It is not a traditional martini in that it does not contain gin or vermouth, but it is very tasty all the same! It is the perfect drink if you are starting to flag and are in need of a bit of a pick me up.


50ml Espresso Coffee, made in advance and chilled

25ml Vodka

25ml Coffee Liquer (Tia Maria or Kahlua)

1 Teaspoon of sugar (optional, if you like it sweet)

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cooking Time: n/a

Serves: Makes 1 Cocktail


  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice

  2. Add the ingredients (the sugar is optional if you like it sweet, I prefer my espresso martini with no added sugar

  3. Pop the lid on and shake vigourously for one minute

  4. Strain into the martini glass

  5. Enjoy!
