Treat yourself to the decadent blend of coffee, caramel, and vodka with the South African-inspired Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. It’s a deliciously warming cocktail that will satisfy your cravings for both coffee and caramel in one sip.
Ingredients
- 45 ml vodka
- 30 ml coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua)
- 30 ml salted caramel liqueur (such as Bailey’s Salted Caramel)
- 1 shot (30 ml) freshly brewed espresso
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Caramel sauce (for garnish)
- Sea salt (for garnish)
Method
- Start by chilling your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes. This will help keep your drink cold.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, salted caramel liqueur, and freshly brewed espresso to the shaker.
- Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Take the martini glass out of the freezer and drizzle caramel sauce around the inside of the glass, allowing it to drip down.
- Strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker into the caramel-drizzled martini glass.
- If desired, top the drink with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the whipped cream for an extra touch of saltiness and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Salted Caramel Espresso Martini!
Note: If you don’t have access to salted caramel liqueur, you can make your own by adding a pinch of sea salt to regular caramel liqueur. Adjust the amount of salt according to your taste preferences.
