Vanilla Espresso Martini

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Absolut Vanilia Vodka
  • 1 oz Fresh espresso (hot or cooled; hot gives a better crema)
  • 1 oz Coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or similar)
  • ½ oz Simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Coffee beans (for garnish)

Instructions:

Brew a shot of espresso, then let it cool slightly. Fill a shaker with ice and add the Absolut Vanilia, espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, then double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with three coffee beans.
