Espresso Martini
The bar-menu icon — shaken, foamy, and machine-free.
You'll need
- 2 oz vodka
- 1 tbsp QuicKafe concentrate
- ½ oz coffee liqueur (or 2 tsp simple syrup)
- A shaker full of ice
- 3 coffee beans to garnish
How to make it
- Add the vodka, concentrate, and liqueur (or syrup) to a shaker packed with ice.
- Shake HARD for a full 15 seconds — the crema-style foam comes from commitment, not equipment.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass and land the three beans on the foam. Tradition says they stand for health, wealth, and happiness.
☕ Good to know: Bars need a fresh espresso shot for this; the bottle skips the machine and the cooling wait entirely — and room-temperature concentrate actually shakes into better foam than hot espresso. 21+ only.
🍯 Flavor pairing: ORIGINAL keeps it classic; HAZELNUT turns it into dessert in a stemmed glass.
