Espresso martini

Ingredients

• 100g caster sugar
• 50ml vodka
• 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
• 2 tbsp, hot espresso
• 3 coffee beans to garnish

Description

• Put the sugar and 100ml water in a pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Cool. This will make more than you need but will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

• STEP 2

  Put a handful of ice into a cocktail shaker followed by the vodka, coffee liqueur, hot espresso and 25ml of the sugar syrup. Shake vigorously for at least 15-30 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass and garnish with the coffee beans before serving.
