‘Tis the season to get into the Holiday spirit with @thedefineddish’s espresso martini. 🍸
INGREDIENTS:
☕ 3 ounces vodka
☕ 1 ounce kahula
☕ 1 ounce simple syrup
☕ 1 shot of hot espresso (about 1.5 ounces)
RECIPE:
☕ Fill a cocktail shaker full of ice. Add the vodka, kahlua, simple syrup and hot espresso. Close, seal and shake until very cold (at least 20-30 seconds).
☕ Place the strainer on top of the shaker and pour the contents through a sieve (optional) and directly into the glass.
Notes: It may seem strange to pour hot espresso into a cold drink, but the heat combining with the other ingredients in the cold shaker help to create the foam! The strainer and the sieve additionally help to create a rich, smooth, froth and get out any little pieces of broken ice.
