Espresso Martini

Chef’s notes

This is my take on the espresso martini. If you wanted more drink, you could bump the ingredient quantities to the following, in which case I would omit the simple syrup:

  • 2oz (60ml) Vodka
  • 1oz (30ml) Espresso liqueur

Note: If you don’t have simple syrup, you can simply add some sugar to the espresso while it is still hot!
