Midnight Espresso Martini

Shake up your Halloween cocktail menu with a rich and sophisticated Midnight Espresso Martini! Freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, vodka, and a touch of simple syrup come together for a smooth, bold drink with a dramatic layer of foam. Finished with three coffee beans, it's an elegant after-dark cocktail that brings just the right amount of spooky atmosphere to your celebration.

You’ll need: 

• 2 oz vodka 
• 1 oz coffee liqueur 
• 1 oz freshly brewed espresso, cooled 
• ½ oz simple syrup 
• Ice 
• 3 coffee beans, for garnish 

Instructions: Brew a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool slightly. Combine vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake hard for 15-20 seconds (this is what gives the drink its signature foam) and double-strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
