Its Monday here in LaLa land and the general mood seems to be “I.Need.Coffee.NOW.” Huh.
The ladies at Girly Drinks aren’t necessarily morning people, but when we do have to wake up before 7 a.m., coffee is the first thing we think of. Yum! Coffee is a picker upper in many sorts, and if you’re as big of a coffee fan as we are, you’re sure to enjoy the Espresso Martini.
The Espresso Martini is a great go-to drink when you’re at a fancy lounge or nice restaurant, ordering an after-dinner drink. The Espresso Martini is also nice in place of a red bull and vodka if you need a quick pick me up to get through the rest of the night.
Espresso Martini Ingredients
- 1 oz cold Espresso
- 1 1/2 oz Vodka
- 1 1/2 oz Kahlua*
- 1 oz white Creme de cacao
Espresso Martini Recipe
Pour ingredients into shaker filled with ice, shake vigorously, and strain into chilled martini glass.
It should be somewhat frothy. Rim martini glass with chocolate if desired.
*Kahlua can be replaced with Godiva Coffee flavored alcohol, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Frangelico or another coffee flavored alcohol
