Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka: Use your favorite brand. Tito’s is recommended if you prefer a gluten-free option.
- 1 oz cold brew coffee concentrate: Starbucks concentrate is easily accessible, but feel free to use your preferred brand.
- 1 oz coffee liqueur: Kahlúa is a classic choice, though any coffee liqueur works well.
- 1/4 oz coffee creamer (optional): This adds a touch of richness and sweetness. Choose a flavor that complements your taste (vanilla, caramel, etc.)
- Ice
- Coffee beans (for garnish)
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Martini glasses (or coupe glasses)
- Measuring jigger
Instructions
Chill your glasses: Place your martini or coupe glasses in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Combine ingredients: Add the vodka, cold brew concentrate, coffee liqueur, and coffee creamer (if using) to the cocktail shaker.
Fill with ice: Add a generous amount of ice to the cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously: Secure the lid and shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for 30 seconds. This creates the signature frothy top and chills the drink.
Strain and serve: Strain the chilled martini into the chilled glasses.
Garnish: Top with three coffee beans for a classic espresso martini look.
Tips
Experiment with flavors: Play around with different coffee creamers or even try flavored vodkas to create your own unique variation.
Customize sweetness: Adjust the amount of coffee creamer or add a touch of simple syrup to tailor the sweetness to your liking.
Double the recipe: Easily make a batch for two or more by doubling the ingredients.
Enjoy your refreshing and delightful Cold Brew Martini! 🍸
