If you don&#8217;t have a shaker, you can add the ingredients to a mason jar.<\/li>    <li><strong>Espresso machine<\/strong>: To make an espresso martini, you need to make an actual espresso to get the flavor just right. If you can&#8217;t make a machine-brewed espresso, try a French press or an espresso powder to get the coffee flavor, but this won&#8217;t make the espresso martini frothy.<\/li>    <li><strong>Martini glasses<\/strong>: This cocktail should also make a visual impression, and that means serving it in martini glasses. If you don&#8217;t have those, a coupe glass is a good alternative.<\/li>    <li><strong>Vodka bottle<\/strong>: The espresso martini is vodka-heavy, so choosing a high-quality brand is essential to getting a great cocktail.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"food-pairings-to-try\"><a><\/a><strong>Food Pairings to Try<\/strong><\/h3>    <p>This cocktail is usually an after-dinner drink, but it can also be served along with desserts like cheesecake, tiramisu, or ice cream.<\/p>    <p>You can also add it to some aperitifs like bruschetta or a cheese platter before serving the main course.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"espresso-martini-recipe-variations\"><a><\/a><strong>Espresso Martini Recipe Variations<\/strong><\/h2>    <p>If you love this martini, you&#8217;ll also enjoy any of the following recipe variations:<\/p>    <ul> <li><strong>Cold Brew Martini<\/strong>: If you don&#8217;t have an espresso maker, or don&#8217;t want a frothy Espresso Martini, use cold brew concentrate or use freshly brewed regular coffee instead. Coffee lovers can still enjoy the flavor.<\/li>    <li><strong>Frozen Martini<\/strong>: Use a blender and add all your ingredients plus ice to get a frozen consistency, similar to a smoothie. You can add extra sugar syrup to make it sweeter and serve it in a chilled glass with a few coffee beans on top.<\/li>    <li><strong>Chocolate Martini<\/strong>: If you don&#8217;t like the stronger coffee flavor, swap it for chocolate to get a sweet dessert drink instead.<\/li>    <li><strong>Syrups<\/strong>: You can balance out the strong coffee flavor by adding simple syrup, caramel, vanilla, and more. It&#8217;s better to taste the coffee liqueur first, however, to avoid making this drink too sweet.<\/li> <\/ul>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-thoughts\"><a><\/a><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>    <p>The Espresso Martini is a classic coffee cocktail most people should try at least once. Even if you don&#8217;t have an espresso machine, you can still brew a delicious pot of coffee and mix it to get a sweet, bitter, and booming drink.<\/p>    <p>Just stay away from instant coffee, and you&#8217;ll be good!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marry your love of coffee with your love of vodka, and indulge in a glass of espresso martini.
