Creamy Espresso Martini with Baileys
Put all of the ingredients except for the coffee beans into your cocktail shaker, fill with ice and shake for 5 to 10 seconds to chill.
1.5 ounce vodka, 1 shot strong espresso, 1.0 ounce coffee liqueur, 1.0 ounce Baileys Irish Cream, 2 dashes chocolate bitters
Strain out the ice. Then add your espresso martini back to your cocktail shaker without ice and shake for 20 to 30 seconds until it is foamy.
Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with the traditional three coffee beans. Serve immediately.
3 coffee beans
Purists say that espresso martinis must be made with freshly-pulled hot espresso, but I'm here to dispute that. If you don't have a machine, use a shot from a shop, cold brew coffee, or even instant espresso. Just make it strong!
For fun, add a dash of chocolate bitters to your Baileys espresso martini.
