Tequila Espresso Martini
If you love tequila and coffee then a Tequila Espresso Martini is the cocktail for you! With a kick of both alcohol and caffeine, this smooth, rich, and tasty drink has it all.
Equipment
- 1 cocktail shaker
- 1 martini or coupe glass for serving
Ingredients
- 1 ounce tequila any preferred type
- 1 ounce coffee liqueur
- 2 ounce chilled espresso freshly brewed
- ½ ounce simple syrup
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Add the cocktail ingredients and shake well for 30 - 60 seconds.
- Strain the martini into a martini glass or coupe glass. Let it sit for a minute to allow the crema to float to the top. Add any desired garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a jigger or a measuring cup to measure your ingredients accurately. A precise measurement can make a big difference in the balance and flavor of your cocktail.
- If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can add a dash of extra simple syrup, maple syrup, or honey until it suits your exact preference.
- You should serve this martini immediately after making it. The longer you let it sit, the less foam there will be to enjoy.
- This cocktail requires to be shaken really well in order to create the iconic foam layer on top. Because of this, you can only make 1 - 2 servings at a time as that is how much fits into a cocktail shaker.
- If you are watching your caffeine intake, you can always make this martini with decaf espresso instead of regular.
- This espresso martini is best served in a martini glass or a coupe glass - and even better if the glass is chilled. This helps to keep the drink deliciously cold while drinking it.
