What’s an Espresso Martini Made of?

The classic Espresso Martini is made using Vodka, Kahlúa and a fresh pulled Espresso. Regular brewed coffee can work in a pinch as long as it’s strong, just know that the foamy head won’t turn out as well as with a real Espresso.

What is the white stuff on an Espresso Martini?

The white stuff is a foam, or crema that comes from shaking. To get the perfect crema, you’ll need to shake the ever living heck out of your drink. Using real Espresso Coffee also helps. Wanna learn how to shake like a pro? Check out this crash course on shakers and strainers!

Who invented the Espresso Martini?
