How to make an espresso martini
This may not be how others make it, but it’s how I make mine … strong!! 😉
- Pour a spoonful of instant coffee into a cup. Add a small amount of boiling water to make the espresso shot. (Don’t use too much water here as it will make the drink too runny – just enough to make a shot!)
- Add lots of ice to the cocktail shaker. (Read on to see why you need the right type of ice!)
- Add a double shot of vodka into the shaker
- Next add a double shot of coffee liqueur into the shaker too.
- Finally, add the espresso coffee shot.
- Now Shake it!!!!! Shake it lots and lots!
- Finally pour into your martini glass using the strainer to stop the ice from going in the glass.
- Et voila!! One espresso martini with a fabulously frothy top!!

Top tip…
It’s all in the ICE!!
I won a cocktail making class a few years ago and took away a fab tip that I thought I’d share! The key to getting the perfect espresso martini with a good amount of froth is the ICE!! You need to use big ice! Small ice cubes or crushed ice melts too quickly and makes the cocktail too watery! I’ve got a silicone ice cube tray that makes big cubes, perfect for these cocktails (see below)! If you are struggling to get a frothy top, you may need to use less water in the espresso shot, shake it for a little longer and use bigger ice!!!
You can buy the silicone ice trays that I use here (along with a few other suggestions)…
Whether you’ve been keen to try an espresso martini for ages or if you’re a little bored of the gin and tonics and want to try something a little different, I hope you enjoy this ‘How to make the perfect espresso martini’ recipe!
