Frozen Espresso Martini: Coffee Vibes

This past weekend, we said goodbye to Summer 2024. We did not say goodbye to Frozen Espresso Martinis. Because my god are they delightful.

Espresso Yourself

Frozen Espresso Martini

The Secret to a a great frozen martini is coffee ice cubes. Freeze your cold brew in ice cube trays (good squares or small cubes work well). It gives you: one that great coffee flavor and two no water in your cocktail. It also changes up how much caffeine you are putting in your martini. Now I love a good strong coffee, so I love giving my homemade coffee the ice cube treatment. You can create your coffee or buy it, you do you.

Ingredients (for two)

Four Square Coffee Ice Cubes

3 oz Vodka

1 1/2 oz Kahlua

Two teaspoons of Espresso Powder

Optional: 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (If you like it sweet, add the sweetness)

Recipe: In your blender, place ice cubes. Then pour vodka, kahlua, and dash of espresso powder. Blend until you get a nice consistency (sort of like more than a smoothie but not completely impossible to drink). For my blender, it takes about 50 seconds to blend. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Enjoy!
