Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 oz Freshly brewed espresso
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 3 pieces Whole coffee beans (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool slightly, ensuring it's not too hot to handle.
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of coffee liqueur, 1 oz of the brewed espresso, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup to the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. The goal is to create a rich, frothy layer from the espresso and chill the mixture thoroughly.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any ice chips or froth clumps.
Garnish the cocktail by carefully placing 3 whole coffee beans on top of the frothy layer. They traditionally represent health, wealth, and happiness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crafted Wake Me Up Martini!
