Espresso Martini Twist Recipe with Cuppa Kokane
Ingredients:
- 1 shot Cuppa Kokane espresso
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
- Ice cubes
- Optional: simple syrup (for extra sweetness)
- Garnish: a few whole coffee beans or chocolate shavings
Instructions:
-
Brew the Espresso: Start with a fresh shot of Cuppa Kokane espresso. Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the ice too quickly.

Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur. If you prefer your espresso martini a bit sweeter, add a splash of simple syrup.
-
Shake it Up: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps create a creamy, frothy layer that sits beautifully on top.
-
Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with coffee beans or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for a refined touch.
-
Sip and Enjoy: Indulge in each sip, savoring the layers of smooth espresso, subtle sweetness, and a touch of vodka warmth.
