Shake It Up: Your Guide to the Perfect Espresso Martini 🍸☕

Here’s how to shake one up at home (don’t worry, you don’t need to be Tom Cruise in Cocktail to nail it):

What You’ll Need:

🍸 1 part Vodka

🍸 1 part Kahlua

🍸 1 shot of Urban Brew espresso pod (dealer’s choice - any blend will do the trick)

🍸 Ice, and plenty of it

🍸 A couple of coffee beans to garnish (for that boujee finishing touch)

How To Make It:

1. Grab your cocktail shaker and load it up with vodka, Kahlua, and your freshly brewed Urban Brew espresso.

2. Add ice and shake it like you mean it (pretend you’re mixing the soundtrack to your own heist movie).

3. Double strain into a martini glass and finish with 3 coffee beans on top. Why 3? Tradition, baby.

Want to switch it up? Add a dash of Frangelico for a nutty vibe or a sprinkle of chocolate for dessert-in-a-glass status. (Or if you’re just here for the smooth moves without the late-night bounce, swap in Decaf - zero buzz, still delicious. And if you’re going booze-free altogether, mix your espresso with a splash of vanilla syrup and a drizzle of chocolate - it’s like a mocktail martini, minus the hangover.)

So next time you’re in the mood for a drink that’s equal parts bold, boujee, and buzzy, this is the one. It’s coffee. It’s a cocktail. It’s basically a personality in a glass.

PSA: Drink up, but drink smart. This recipe is strictly 18+. If you’re pregnant, driving, or just not vibing with alcohol - skip the booze and make the mocktail. Trust us, the only buzz you need is from the coffee.
