IF YOU’RE A COFFEE LOVER, YOU’LL REALLY LOVE AN ABSOLUT ESPRESSO MARTINI. WITH A PERFECT BALANCE OF SWEET AND BITTER FLAVOURS, THIS DECADENT COCKTAIL BOASTS A SILKY-SMOOTH MOUTHFEEL TOPPED WITH RICH FOAM AND THE ICONIC THREE-BEAN GARNISH.

ICE CUBES
1 OZ ABSOLUT VODKA
1 OZ KAHLÚA
1 OZ ESPRESSO
3 WHOLE COFFEE BEANS


Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add Absolut Vodka, Kahlúa, and Espresso. Shake vigorously to get the foam on top and strain it into a chilled cocktail or martini glass. Garnish by placing three coffee beans on top, for health, wealth, and happiness.

GETTING THE PERFECT MIX

Kahlua and Absolut Bottles

THE VODKA

A great quality vodka pairs perfectly with the decadent of Kahlúa and the intense flavour of espresso. The rich character of Absolut, with hints of caramel and vanilla, carries this cocktail beautifully.

THE COFFEE LIQUOR

As classic cocktail purists, we prefer Kahlúa, as that’s the coffee liquor the Espresso Martini was originally made with. Plus – it’s delicious. With its enticing caramel colour, Kahlúa boasts the deep, rich flavour of real black coffee and indulgent sweet butter.

Coffee Beans

THE ESPRESSO

The world of coffee is huge and complex, but we like to keep things simple. We like a dark roast on a higher scale of intensity, and preferably, a freshly pulled shot.

Coffee Foam Art

THE FOAM

It wouldn’t be an espresso martini without a generous layer of foam. Fill your shaker with big, clear ice and shake, shake, shake. Good quality ice in large chunks won’t melt as fast as nuggets or pebbles, meaning your cocktail won’t become diluted.

Espresso Martini Glasses

THE GLASS

Pre-chill your stemmed glass in a freezer before you pour. This will keep your cocktail crisp and cool all the way to the final sip.

MAKE IT YOURS

THE ABSOLUT ESPRESSO MARTINI IS A CLASSIC COCKTAIL, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T MAKE IT YOUR OWN. HERE’S A FEW THINGS TO TRY IF YOU’RE READY TO MIX THINGS UP.

Absolut Make It Yours

Pre-Batch

Mixing cocktails for a group? Mix a large batch ahead of time and shake them up as your guests as they arrive.

Play with Measures

Espresso Martinis are like coffee — everyone has their own preferences. More sweet, less sweet, more bold… To find the right recipe for you, start with equal parts of each ingredient and adjust from there.

Absolut Vodka Flavours

Have some fun with the range of Absolut vodka flavours. Absolut Vanilia is an obvious choice, but an Absolut Citron Espresso Martini is remarkably delicious, and Absolut Mandrin will give your cocktail a fruity twist.

Mix Up a Classic

The variations of Espresso Martinis are only limited by your imagination. Experiment with bitters (chocolate or orange will delight your tastebuds), decaf or cold brew coffee, edible glitter, and simple syrup flavours. Happy Mixing!
