Instructies
If you like it, dab the glass rim of the martini glasses (or cocktail glass) in advance in some water and then press it into gold powder.
1 teaspoon edible gold
Put all ingredients in the cocktail shaker and shake well for about 2 minutes
1 handful ice cubes, ⅓ cup Vodka, ¼ cup coffee liqueur, 1 cup espresso, 1 teaspoon confectioners sugar
Leave the strainer on the shaker and pour the Martini espresso into the glasses.
NOTITIES
1. Espresso: If you don't have an espresso machine, make the espresso with instant espresso powder that you can buy in the store2. Confectioner's sugar: Adds a little sweetness to the espresso martini. You can also omit this if you don't want to add extra sugar.3. Coffee liqueur:
A traditional espresso Martini is made with Kahlua, but I use Kahlua substitutes like Tia Maria, a coffee liquor, or Frangelico (and you get a nice hazelnut flavor with it) because I like some variation.
Using a chocolate liqueur such as crème de cacao, Bailey's Irish cream, or licor 43 chocolate is also a great idea instead of a coffee liqueur. This gives a creamy espresso martini. The creamy cocktail isn't dairy free when using one of these.
Or mix a touch of cinnamon with this cocktail (also delicious).
4. Foamy top: If you want a foamy top (like with an espresso), shake a fresh raw egg white in the cocktail shaker. By shaking, you get a frothy espresso martini.5. StorageMake the cocktail fresh; you cannot store it.
