It soared in popularity in 2021 and grew into a full-on craze during 2022\u2014similar to other drinks of that year, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/aperol-spritz\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/aperol-spritz\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Aperol spritz<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/negroni-sbagliato\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/negroni-sbagliato\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Negroni sbagliato<\/a>.\u00a0On TikTok, videos about the drink have been viewed more than 806 million times. And in 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/drinks-trends-2022-6831933\" data-name=\"www.foodandwine.com\/drinks-trends-2022-6831933\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Food + Wine<\/em><\/a> declared that it \u201creigns supreme\u201d among cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>Bartenders often comment that when one person orders an espresso martini, suddenly everyone wants one. If you&#8217;ve caught the craving, we\u2019ll show you how to make an espresso martini at home so you can enjoy this popular libation anytime.<\/p>\n<h2>What is an espresso martini?<\/h2>\n<p>A classic vodka\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/martini\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/martini\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">martini<\/a> is a blend of vodka with dry vermouth. An espresso martini keeps the vodka but then takes a dark turn, with bitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-espresso\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-espresso\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">espresso<\/a> and a shot of coffee liqueur\u2014like Kahlua. When the ingredients are shaken with ice and poured into a glass they develop a light brown layer of foam on top. Three coffee beans garnish the attractive drink.<\/p>\n<p>The espresso martini is a relatively young cocktail, first shaken in 1983 by a legendary London bartender named Dick Bradsell. He created it for a young model who requested a cocktail that would \u201cwake her up.\u201d It was reportedly the preferred drink of 1990s supermodels like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did the espresso martini have a resurgence?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of possibilities as to why the espresso martini returned to the spotlight in 2022. Overall 1990s nostalgia could be one reason. Some claim a paparazzi photo of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet drinking espresso martinis with Larry David also helped fuel the trend.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, the research firm CGA by Nielsen IQ reported that the caffeinated concoction entered the top-10 list of most-ordered cocktails at U.S. bars, displacing classics like the Manhattan. Beverage conglomerate Pernod Ricard noted that its sales of Kahlua (one of the drink\u2019s key ingredients) hit a new record, growing by double digits globally.<\/p>\n<h2>Espresso Martini Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1947337 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/espresso-martini_THVS23_272557_MR_10_31_23_EspressoMartiniWithTheClassicFrothyTop_1_SSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Espresso Martini Ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vodka:<\/strong> Though a martini can be made with gin or vodka, vodka is the best base liquor for an espresso martini recipe.

It\u2019s similar to the traditional way of serving Sambuca, the anise-flavored Italian liqueur. The beans are an attractive garnish, floating on the surface and contrasting with the light foam underneath.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use coffee instead of espresso for an espresso martini?<\/h3>\n<p>No <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-home-espresso-machine\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-home-espresso-machine\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">espresso machine<\/a>? No problem. Bring the bold coffee flavor to this cocktail by substituting cold brew, strong drip, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-pour-over-coffee\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-pour-over-coffee\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pour-over coffee<\/a> or instant espresso. Whichever you choose, make sure it\u2019s room temperature or chilled.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I make my espresso martini frothy?<\/h3>\n<p>One way to create a foam layer in an espresso martini is to shake the ingredients, which causes air bubbles to suspend in the espresso&#8217;s natural oils. For the best results, shake everything vigorously for up to 30 seconds. Strain most of the drink through the cocktail shaker, then add the foam through a fine mesh strainer.<\/p>\n<p>Other ways to create a foam-topped martini are to add creamy ingredients to the shaker, like heavy cream or a cream liqueur, although these will change the color and texture of the drink.

However, if you don\u2019t have one, use another container with a tight-fitting lid, such as a mason jar, travel coffee cup or a single-size blender drink jar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s how to make a simple and sophisticated espresso martini at home,\u00c4\u00eea drink that will delight cocktail aficionados and
