Vodka Coffee Cocktail

Here’s a simple and delicious Vodka Coffee Cocktail recipe you can try:

☕ Vodka Coffee Cocktail (a.k.a. Espresso Vodka Martini or Vodka Iced Coffee)

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz (45 ml) vodka

• 1 oz (30 ml) freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee) — cooled

• 0.5 oz (15 ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa) (optional, but adds depth)

• 0.25–0.5 oz (7–15 ml) simple syrup or sugar (to taste)

• Ice

• Coffee beans (optional garnish)

Instructions:

1. Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer or fill it with ice and water while you prepare the drink.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add:

   • Vodka

   • Espresso (make sure it’s cooled so it doesn’t melt the ice too fast)

   • Coffee liqueur (if using)

   • Simple syrup or sugar (adjust for sweetness)

3. Add plenty of ice and shake well — about 15–20 seconds.

4. Strain into your chilled glass (typically a martini or coupe glass).

5. Garnish with 3 coffee beans if desired (classic espresso martini style).

Optional Variations:

• Iced Coffee Vodka Drink: Skip the shaker and pour everything over ice in a glass (use cold brew instead of espresso).

• Creamy Twist: Add a splash of milk, cream, or Baileys for a smoother, dessert-like drink.

• Spiced Kick: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
