Description
These Pistachio Espresso Martinis are so, so delicious and really simple to throw together! All the classic flavors of an espresso martini with sweet pistachio syrup mixed in. These taste like espresso and pistachio ice cream had a boozy baby! Delicious!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 oz cooled espresso or strong coffee
- 1 oz coffee liqueur
- 1 oz pistachio syrup (this is my favorite)
- 4 oz vodka
- Ice
- Espresso or coffee beans, for garnish
- Chopped pistachios, for garnish
Instructions
- Brew your espresso and allow it to cool completely before making the cocktails. I like to put it in the freezer for a few minutes to bring it down to temperature quickly.
- To a shaker filled with ice, add the cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, pistachio syrup, and vodka.
- Cover the shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds – shaking it hard will ensure a nice foamy top.
- Strain the cocktails into two martini glasses, allowing the residual foaminess to pour out into each glass. Garnish with espresso beans and a sprinkling of chopped pistachios (both optional but fun garnishes).
- Serve immediately.
Notes
If a creamier version of this is preferred, add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to the shaker with the other ingredients.
