Tequila Espresso Martini
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- Ice
- 2 ounces coffee liqueur a not-too-sweet version, such as Evil Bean or Luxardo
- 1ยฝ ounces tequila
- ยฝ ounce Licor 43
- 1 ounce freshly pulled hot espresso
Instructions
- Fill a shaker halfway with ice โ not too full, because the air in the shaker helps create that signature foamy crema on top. Add the cold-brew coffee liqueur, tequila, Licor 43, and fresh espresso. Shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds. The fresh espresso and aeration will build a thick, velvety foam. Strain into a chilled V-shaped martini glass.
Notes
Pro tip: If you donโt have an espresso machine, use a high-quality espresso liqueur. Youโll miss a bit of the crema, but the flavor will still shine.
