How to make the Espresso Martini:

Here’s some (even more) good news: Espresso Martini is very easy to make! Just mix all the ingredients in a shaker filled with ice and shake it, oooh, shake it, shake it for 30 seconds.

Strain into a Martini glass - there should be a nice froth on top, created by the natural oils in the espresso. Garnish with 3 coffee beans (one for health, one for wealth and one for happiness) and you’re ready to go! It’s bitter, it’s sweet, it’s boozy – you’re going to love it!

The secret? Brew it fresh!

The secret to make a delicious Espresso Martini… Is a freshly brewed espresso. To get the divine result, don’t use a previously brewed coffee; prepare your espresso right before making the cocktail and you’ll be rewarded.

We recommend to use the Big Shot Coffee Beans or, if you prefer capsules, Enigma will give this cocktail a very unique flavour.

Happy Drinking!
