Are you ready for a delicious cocktail that has the perfect balance between the rich flavor of espresso and the gentle kick of a cocktail?

The Espresso Martini is the perfect drink for you! This popular beverage is an invigorating blend of coffee and vodka, with a hint of sweetness and an energetic boost that's sure to get your evening started. Here's how to easily make your own Espresso Martini Vanilla.

What do you need?

For one Espresso Martini you need the following ingredients:

- 30 ml freshly brewed espresso (cooled)

- 30 ml vodka

- 20 ml coffee liqueur (for example Kahlúa)

- 10 ml Torani Vanilla coffee syrup

- Ice cubes

- Garnish: 3 coffee beans for the foam (classic presentation)

Step-by-step preparation

1. Brewing and Chilling Espresso: Brew a strong espresso in a shot glass and let it cool. This is important to prevent the ice from melting too quickly while shaking.

2. Fill a shaker with ice: Add a generous amount of ice cubes to your shaker. The colder, the better!

3. Add ingredients: Pour the espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur and Torani Vanilla Syrup into the shaker.

4. Shake it!: Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. It's important to ensure the drink is well-mixed and frothy.

5. Pour: Pour the Espresso Martini through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled martini glass. This will create a silky smooth texture without any ice chunks.

6. Garnish: Place three coffee beans on the foam – a classic way to finish the Espresso Martini and add a little extra aroma.

Tips for the best Espresso Martini

- Use fresh espresso: The taste of a good Espresso Martini depends heavily on the quality of the espresso. Choose a freshly ground, dark roast for an intense coffee flavor.

- Play with sweetness: Add Torani coffee syrup to taste. Some people prefer a sweeter version, while others find it tasty enough plain. Or choose Torani Sugar-Free Coffee Syrup.

Add a twist : Fancy something a little different? Add a touch of caramel or hazelnut syrup for a unique taste experience!

An Espresso Martini isn't just a cocktail; it's a true experience for coffee lovers and cocktail enthusiasts. Cheers and enjoy this energizing drink – the perfect blend of coffee and luxury!
