First, you will want to use espresso instead of brewing coffee or using instant coffee. It&#8217;s important for the flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, it&#8217;s important to let the espresso chill before adding it to the ice and alcohol so that it does not melt the ice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foam is an important part of this cocktail, both for flavor and presentation. It&#8217;s kind of like when you order a latte, the more foam the better! The foam comes from shaking in a cocktail shaker for 10-15 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1338\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/easy-espresso-martini\/?tp_image_id=116901\" src=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-918x1024.jpg 918w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-768x856.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-90x100.jpg 90w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-54x60.jpg 54w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-750x836.jpg 750w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-730x814.jpg 730w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-700x781.jpg 700w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-550x613.jpg 550w, https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/espresso-martini-ingredients-156x174.jpg 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-espresso-martini-ingredients\"><strong>Espresso Martini Ingredients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Espresso<\/strong> &#8211; 1 shot (about 1.5 ounces) espresso<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vodka<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; 2&nbsp;ounces vodka<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kahl\u00faa<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; 1\/2 ounce&nbsp;coffee liqueur<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple Syrup<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; 1\/2 ounce&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/simple-syrup-recipe\/\">simple syrup<\/a>&nbsp;(this is optional but I recommend it)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coffee Beans<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; For&nbsp;garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This will make one drink.
