New Era IBA
Espresso Martini
Date night fuel
A velvet-smooth collision of espresso and vodka with a frothy crown. That crown is the espresso's own crema, so a fresh, hot shot is non-negotiable — stale or cold coffee falls flat. It wakes you up and takes you out — the ultimate after-dinner pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 1 oz Espresso
- 1/3 oz Simple Syrup
Method
Add vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup, and a fresh, hot shot of espresso to a shaker with ice — the crema from fresh espresso is what builds the froth, so don't use stale or cold coffee. Shake hard until a thick froth forms. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with three coffee beans.
