Classic Espresso Martini (for reference)

Before we dive into the variations, let’s revisit the Classic Espresso Martini recipe:

The rich and creamy white chocolate perfectly complements the robust coffee flavor, resulting in a velvety-smooth and decadent cocktail.

Salted Caramel Espresso Martini

If you crave a harmonious blend of sweet and salty, the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini is an excellent choice.

Alongside the Classic Espresso Martini ingredients, add ½ oz of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau) and a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. The combination of zesty orange and comforting spices creates a vibrant and aromatic cocktail that is perfect for cozy evenings or festive occasions.

Coconut Espresso Martini

For a tropical twist, the Coconut Espresso Martini is a refreshing and exotic option. In addition to the Classic Espresso Martini ingredients, include ½ oz of coconut rum or coconut-flavored liqueur.
