For a delightful frozen espresso martini, you’ll need a blend of coffee-flavored ingredients and a creamy element, served up in a frosty, slush-like consistency. Here’s how you can make one:
Ingredients:
- Coffee ice cubes or brewed espresso, chilled (amounts vary by preference)
- Coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa (around 1 to 2 ounces)
- Vodka (around 1 to 2 ounces)
- Coffee creamer or coconut mix for a creamy texture (amount to taste)
- Simple syrup for sweetness (optional, to taste)
- Ice (typically 1 cup or more for a slushy texture)
- Coffee beans for garnish
Instructions:
- If you’re using brewed espresso, first prepare it and allow it to cool. You may choose to make coffee ice cubes in advance by freezing brewed espresso in an ice cube tray.
- Add the coffee ice cubes (or chilled espresso), coffee liqueur, vodka, and coffee creamer (or coconut mix) into a blender.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, slush-like consistency. If it’s too liquid, add more ice to thicken it.
- Pour the mixture into martini glasses or coupe glasses.
- Garnish with three coffee beans on top for a traditional espresso martini touch and good luck.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your frosty cocktail.
This frozen espresso martini recipe is perfect for a summer pick-me-up or as a unique twist on a classic cocktail for your next gathering.
