- Ice cubes
- Optional: coffee beans or chocolate shavings for garnish
Espresso Martini Recipe Instructions:
1. Brew Your Blank Canvas Coffee Espresso:
Start by brewing a strong cup of Blank Canvas Coffee Espresso beans. Let it cool down to room temperature, or pop it in the fridge for a quick chill.
2. Prepare Your Cocktail Shaker:
Grab your trusty cocktail shaker and fill it with ice cubes. The colder, the better!
3. Measure and Pour:
Time to add the star ingredient! Measure out 2 shots of your chilled Blank Canvas Coffee Espresso and pour them into the shaker. Follow it up with 1 shot of vodka for that extra kick, 1/2 shot each of coffee liqueur and Bailey's (or simple syrup) to balance out the flavors.
4. Shake, Shake, Shake:
Secure the lid on your cocktail shaker and give it a good shake – we're talking James Bond levels of smoothness here! Shake it up until the outside of the shaker feels nice and frosty.
5. Strain and Serve:
Grab your favorite martini glass and strain from the shaker into the glass. Admire the dark hues and rich aromas and the look of "impressed" wash over your guests faces.
6. Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish your Blank Canvas Coffee Martini with a few coffee beans or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings on top. It's almost too pretty to drink. Almost.
