Strip of orange zest and coffee beans, for garnish
Instructions
Chill 2 martini glasses first if possible (see Note).
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup. Cover the shaker and shake vigorously until the cocktail is foamy and very cold, about 45 seconds. Strain into a martini glass. Twist the orange zest strip over the drink, and drape it over the glass. Float the coffee beans in the drink and serve immediately while the top is still frothy.
Notes
Martinis are best when served very cold, it’s a nice touch to chill your glasses first. You can do this by putting them in the freezer or the fridge, whichever you have room for. 15 to 30 minutes is plenty of time to get your glasses nice and chilled.
