- 2 ounces of cold coffee
- 1 ounce Kahlua
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce of Frangelico
- ½ Pirouline wafer
You will also need a cocktail shaker, hawthorne strainer, measuring jigger, and a martini glass to make this coffee and vodka drink.
This coffee-lovers drink makes a great gateway into specialty coffee. It’s a way for people like me (who don’t drink coffee) to enjoy the subtle taste of coffee filtered by other flavors.
Frangelico is a hazelnut and herb flavored liqueur that is produced in Italy. This gives a nutty flavor to the martini. Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that adds a more subtle coffee flavor.
With the addition of vodka and cold coffee, it’s hard to decide whether it’s a drink or a dessert. One thing for sure is that it is a coffee lovers dream.
How to make the coffee martini recipe
First, fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Then and add the vodka, Kahlua, Frangelico and cold coffee. Give it a very good shake and then strain it out into chilled martini glasses.
The drink is served neat and very cold, but not over ice. This gives it the look of a dark martini, similar to that of an espresso martini.
How to garnish a vodka coffee cocktail
I have seen coffee martinis garnished with a few coffee beans. I am not a coffee lover, but this would really appeal to anyone who needs a boozy coffee fix!
Since I prefer sweets to coffee, I garnish mine with Piroulines (hazelnut chocolate wafer logs).
I cut a log in half and place each half on a long cocktail stick or bamboo skewer. This allows it to sit in the martini glass but above the drink.
The bottom half of the hazelnut log seeps in the alcoholic mixture and the top is crisp and crunchy. The best of both worlds!
