These Frozen Espresso Martinis are a cocktail granita inspired by my creamy espresso martini with Baileys Irish cream. These espresso martini granitas are a refreshing frozen cocktail that you'll find super easy to make when it's crazy hot outside.

Notes
Feel free to substitute a flavored vodka or sub Frangelico for the coffee liqueur. But please do not sub heavy cream for the Baileys Irish cream in this frozen espresso martini, or your cocktail granita will have an unappealing grainy texture.
