An Espresso Martini with Baileys is the ideal cocktail for coffee lovers! Pair espresso, Baileys and Kahlua with a crunchy coffee bean rim.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces* espresso, slightly cooled (use decaf if desired; or purchased cold brew coffee)
  • 1 ounces vodka
  • 1/2 ounce Kahlua (or other coffee liqueur like Tia Maria or Sheridan’s)
  • 1/2 ounce Baileys Irish cream
  • For the rim: equal parts finely ground coffee beans and granulated sugar, for the garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the espresso in an espresso maker, French press, or Moka Pot, or make double strength coffee using your favorite method (alternatively, use purchased cold brew; see Notes**). 
  2. Wet the rim of the cocktail glass. Place the finely ground coffee beans and sugar on a plate, and tilt the outside rim of the glass into the mixture so that it coats the outer rim. 
  3. Place the coffee, vodka, Kahlua, and Baileys in a cocktail shaker and add 2 handfuls of ice. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds to create the frothy top. Strain into the prepared cocktail glass. If desired, add a garnish of three coffee beans. 

Notes

*To convert to tablespoons, 1 ounce = 2 tablespoons

**If using purchased cold brew, make sure to water it down using the quantities listed on the package (it’s typically 1:1 concentrate to water). You can also make homemade cold brew coffee.
