Start by brewing your espresso using your favorite method. If you don't have an espresso machine, don't fret! A French press or a moka pot will also work. Chill the espresso in the fridge for about half an hour.
To keep things cool and classy, pop your martini glasses into the freezer for a quick 10-minute spa treatment.
In a cocktail shaker combine vodka, Bailey's, coffee liqueur, and chilled espresso.
Toss in a bunch of ice cubes – the more, the merrier! They'll not only chill the party but also give your martini that enchanting frothy texture.
Now, secure the shaker's lid and let your inner bartender shine! Give it a vigorous shake like you mean it for a solid 10-15 seconds. The longer you shake, the frothier your martini will be.
Retrieve your martini glasses from the freezer and strain the fabulous mixture into the frosty glasses. A fine-mesh strainer or a trusty cocktail strainer will ensure no uninvited ice shards crash this soirée.
If you're feeling extra fancy (and why wouldn't you be?), garnish your creamy espresso martinis with a sprinkle of espresso beans or coffee beans. You can also sprinkle some cocoa powder on top for a delicious chocolate flavor.
