Description
The Tiramisu Espresso Martini is a luxurious blend of rich coffee flavors and creamy textures, reminiscent of the classic Italian dessert. Each sip offers a velvety mouthfeel, with the bold espresso harmonizing beautifully with the sweetness of Kahlúa and the smoothness of mascarpone, topped with a dusting of cocoa for a delightful finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 oz Kahlúa (coffee liqueur)
- 1 oz espresso (freshly brewed and cooled)
- 1 oz mascarpone or Irish cream liqueur (for that tiramisu richness)
- 1/4 oz simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a fresh shot of espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, Kahlúa, cooled espresso, mascarpone (or Irish cream), and simple syrup if desired.
- Add a generous handful of ice cubes to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a light dusting of cocoa powder or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings on top.
Notes
- This cocktail can be made ahead of time; simply prepare the mixture without ice and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Store any leftover ingredients in the refrigerator; the mascarpone should be used within a few days.
- For a non-dairy option, substitute mascarpone with a vegan cream cheese or coconut cream.
