Salted Caramel Espresso Martini

The combination of vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, and a generous drizzle of salted caramel sauce creates something that's rich without being too sweet.
Makes: 2 Cocktails
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients:  

  • 3 oz vodka
  • 2 oz coffee liqueur like Kahlúa or Mr Black
  • 2 oz fresh espresso cooled (or cold brew concentrate)
  • 1 oz salted caramel sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 1 oz simple syrup optional, adjust to taste
  • Ice
  • Flaky sea salt for rimming (optional)
  • 3 espresso beans for garnish (optional)

Instructions: 

  • Prep the glass (optional): Run a bit of caramel sauce around the rim of a coupe or martini glass. Dip the rim in flaky sea salt. Drizzle a little extra caramel inside the glass for presentation.
  • Combine ingredients: Add vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, salted caramel sauce, and simple syrup (if using) to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add ice and shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until very cold and frothy.
  • Strain: Strain into your prepared glass.
  • Garnish: Float three espresso beans on top if desired (they traditionally represent health, wealth, and happiness).
  • Serve immediately — this one is best enjoyed fresh and cold.
