HOW TO MAKE BAILEYS ESPRESSO MARTINI
Add Baileys Irish Cream, espresso, coffee liqueur, and vodka to a cocktail shaker.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the mixture.
Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
Top with a few coffee beans for decoration.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
For an elevated experience, chill your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving to keep the drink cold longer.
Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor.
Allow the espresso to cool slightly before adding it to the shaker to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
Swap out traditional Baileys for flavored versions, like Baileys Salted Caramel or Baileys Vanilla Cinnamon, for a unique twist.
Kahlúa is a classic choice, but feel free to use other coffee liqueurs like Tia Maria or Mr Black for variations in flavor.
You can also rim the glass by dipping it in a shallow plate of baileys then a coffee ground/sugar mixture.
RECIPE FAQ’S
Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?
Yes! Dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee in 2 ounces of hot water to mimic the strong flavor of espresso. Let it cool before using.
Can I make THIS BAILEYS ESPRESSO MARTINI non-alcoholic?
Yes, you can create a mocktail version: Replace Baileys with non-alcoholic Irish cream or a blend of heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Substitute the coffee liqueur with coffee syrup. Omit the vodka.
What if I don’t have a cocktail shaker?
You can use a mason jar with a tight lid or any sealed container to shake the drink. Just strain it into the glass to remove the ice.
