ESPRESSO MARTINI - MOCHA MAGIC
Coffee fans, this mocha espresso martini is sure to appease your desire for an indulgence that’s bittersweet. You can keep it simple and pass on the garnish if you wish as long as you ensure you create that beautiful foamy topping. Can you include an ounce of dairy? Absolutely if you wish. Choose something that has some fat in it. My choice would be regular or lite, canned organic coconut milk.
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz. vodka
1 oz. coffee liqueur such as Kahlua
1 oz. chilled, brewed espresso
Ground of cracked coffee beans and/or shaved chocolate curls

INGREDIENTS:
2 oz. vodka
1 oz. coffee liqueur such as Kahlua
1 oz. chilled, brewed espresso
Ground of cracked coffee beans and/or shaved chocolate curls
DIRECTIONS:
- Measure ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice.
- Cover and shake really well. Strain into martini glasses or pour into rock glass if desired topping off with the ice from the shaker. Garnish as suggested.
TERI'S TIPS:
- Double or triple the recipe if needed.
- I suggest you choose organic coffee as well and brew it with a pinch of salt.
- If you decide you want this cocktail a little lighter, add in an oz. of non-dairy creme such as canned coconut for a richer, creamier result or regular coconut, cashew or almond milk for something lighter.
- Cinnamon or vanilla bean powder is another delish garnish.
