Instructions
  1. 1

    Chill your glass

    Pop your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10-20 minutes before you start. A cold glass keeps the drink colder longer — worth the wait.

  1. 2

    Brew and cool the espresso

    Pull a shot of espresso and let it cool to room temperature (or stick it in the freezer for a few minutes). If you don't have an espresso machine, cold brew concentrate works great too.

  2. 3

    Shake everything

    Add the vodka, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice, then shake hard — really hard — for about 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty. This is what creates that gorgeous foam on top.

  3. 4

    Strain and serve

    Immediately strain into your chilled martini glass — pour swiftly so the foam lands on top. Garnish with 3 coffee beans (they represent health, wealth, and happiness, apparently). Serve right away.

Notes & Tips

Shake this one like you mean it — the foam is the whole vibe and it only forms if you go hard on the shaking. Espresso gives you better foam than cold brew, but cold brew still tastes great. Mocktail swap: skip the vodka, double the cold brew concentrate, add a little extra simple syrup, and shake the same way. You still get the foam and the coffee flavor, just zero booze.
