Ingredients
- 1½ oz Espresso Vodka or chocolate vodka (1 shot)
- 1½ oz chocolate liqueur (1 shot)
- .75 oz amaretto (½ shot)
- 1½ oz espresso or strong coffee cooled
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together with a couple of ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Shake until chilled. Strain into a martini glass. Cheers!
- Chill Your Glass: Pop your martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before making the drink. A cold glass keeps your cocktail perfectly chilled and looks fancy with that frosty coating.
- Shake It Hard: When you shake your cocktail shaker, really shake it! Shake for at least 15-20 seconds to get everything super cold and create that lovely foam on top.
- Use Fresh Espresso: If you can make fresh espresso, it tastes amazing in this drink. But don't stress – regular strong coffee works perfectly fine. Just let it cool to room temperature first so it doesn't melt all your ice.
- Strain It Well: Use a fine strainer or the built-in strainer on your shaker to keep ice chips out of your glass. You want a smooth, silky drink.
- Make It Pretty: The garnish isn't just for looks – coffee beans floating on top give a hint of what's inside, and chocolate shavings or a drizzle make it look bakery-fancy!
Notes
If you don't have a shaker, a pint jar will work.
Highball or martini glasses can be used to serve your cocktail.
