Recipe for Cold Brew Martini
Recipe for Espresso Martini
The next time you’re hosting an elegant event, such as a summer garden party or candlelit supper, why not serve coffee martinis after your guests have dined? Coffee’s richness and vodka’s tang are tempered by the sweetness of coffee liqueur in these chilled alcoholic treats, which not only stimulate witty repartee but also score highly in the style stakes.
Our coffee martini recipes are exciting alternatives to the well-known vodka martini (itself a variation on a classic drink, the gin martini). For your coffee cocktail, will you choose smooth cold brew or its bolder cousin, espresso? You can easily achieve the perfect strength and flavour with our Bean Cold Brew Coffee Maker (which benefits from the French press brewing system) or Chambord® Stovetop Espresso Maker (more stylish and simpler to use than an espresso machine).
Superb coffee shines alongside premium vodka, such as Grey Goose. Both work well with the sweet notes in Kahlúa coffee liqueur, but feel free to experiment with different brands. As with all alcoholic beverages, please enjoy coffee cocktails in moderation.

Exceed Expectations with Your Coffee Martinis
These delicious drinks are bound to exceed even the highest expectations when you adopt the following approach. We believe it’s the secret to making perfect coffee martinis.
· Use fresh coffee and a generous amount of ice for the best, most refreshing taste.
· Shake the ingredients with plenty of energy – that’s the key to achieving a balanced flavour profile and the distinctive froth associated with coffee martinis.
· Choose a coffee liqueur with an appropriate level of sweetness for your preferences. If you enjoy sweet treats, Kahlúa is an excellent choice. By contrast, the taste of Tia Maria is more subtly sweet.
Keep those points in mind when preparing cold brew martinis or espresso martinis and you’ll soon feel like a master bartender!
