    🍸How to make an Espresso Martini

    Each Espresso Martini contains:

    • 1 ounce of Espresso
    • 1 ounce of coffee liqueur like Kahlua®
    • 2 ounces of vanilla vodka

    That is some serious caffeine if you get carried away and have a few too many...so don't do that!

    Shake it all together in a cocktail shaker for 15 to 20 seconds.
