Moonlit Espresso Martini

"Moonlit Espresso Martini" - a sophisticated and indulgent cocktail that combines the rich flavors of espresso with the smooth allure of vodka, all served over Moonballs clear ice by Ice Please!, creating a visually stunning and exceptionally refreshing experience.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
  • 1 ounce freshly brewed espresso (chilled)
  • 1/2 ounce simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Moonballs clear ice by Ice Please!
  • Coffee beans for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Chill Glassware: Place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes to chill.
  2. Brew Espresso: Brew a shot of espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for a quicker cooldown.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker add the vodka, coffee liqueur, chilled espresso, and simple syrup (if using). The simple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  4. Shake: Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until all the ingredients are properly combined.
  5. Strain into Chilled Glass: Remove the chilled martini glass from the freezer and strain the shaken mixture into it, using a fine mesh strainer
  6. Add Moonballs Clear Ice: Gently place the clear ice sphere into the martini glass. Clear ice not only provides a stunning visual effect but also ensures your drink stays cold without diluting it too quickly.
  7. Garnish: Garnish your Espresso Martini with a few coffee beans placed delicately on top of the ice cube(s).

Cheers to enjoying your Espresso Martini with Moonballs by Ice Please!
