Easy
1 cocktail
The Espresso Martini is the ultimate after-dinner cocktail — a perfect balance of rich coffee, smooth spirits, and subtle sweetness. KOVAL Coffee Liqueur brings depth and complexity with its organic, small-batch character.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 1 oz KOVAL Coffee Liqueur
- 1 oz fresh espresso (cooled)
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 3 coffee beans for garnish
How to Make It
1
Brew a shot of espresso and let it cool slightly
2
Add vodka, KOVAL Coffee Liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup to a shaker
3
Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds
4
Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass
5
Garnish with three coffee beans on top of the foam
Pro Tips
- Fresh espresso creates the best foam — instant coffee won't give you that signature frothy top
- Shake hard and long to create the creamy texture
- Chill your glass beforehand for the perfect serve
- For a sweeter version, add a touch more simple syrup
Why KOVAL?
Unlike mass-produced coffee liqueurs, KOVAL Coffee Liqueur is crafted from organic ingredients with real coffee flavor — not artificial sweetness. The result is a more sophisticated, less cloying Espresso Martini that lets the coffee shine through.
