Happy Hour || Espresso Martini

in Food on 02/11/21

A few years ago we went to dinner with a group of friends at one of our favorite restaurants (Le Colonial) and after dinner someone suggested a round of Espresso Martinis as dessert for the table. I am not a martini drinker and not really an espresso drinker- but I trusted my friend and figured I would give an Espresso Martini a try. When they arrived, can we just say – WOW- it was so tasty and I was immediately hooked!

Fast forward to this past December. We had dinner with the same friends and decided to get Espresso Martinis after dinner again (this time at Blue Ridge Grill- another local fave!) It had been forever since we had one and I was reminded how tasty they are.

Which brings me to how we ended up making our own version of an Espresso Martini at home. I think we can all agree that this past December was a bit “dull”. With few parties and gatherings, it was apparent we needed to create our own entertainment at home! So the hubby decided to try his hand at mixology and recreate these delicious cocktails at home… and I think he nailed it!

Espresso Martini Recipe

Ingredients (per Martini):

1 Ounce Vodka (we prefer Tito’s)
1 Small Shot of Espresso-  we have this Nespresso machine and we like the Vanilla Eclair pods
1 Ounce Kahlua
 
 
To Make:
 
Start with frosty martini glasses. We like to frost our glasses in the freezer for a few minutes while we are assembling the ingredients. Just run the glasses under water and then put them in the freezer to make them extra cold. To make the Espresso Martini, just combine all of the ingredients (hot Espresso is fine- it actually makes it more frothy) and shake in a shaker. You can add nutmeg or chocolate shavings on top if you are feeling extra fancy.

      Unfortunately, I do not! These were all here when we moved in and there are actually several variations throughout the yard.
