What Is an Espresso Martini?
An espresso martini is a coffee-based cocktail made with:
Espresso
Vodka
Coffee liqueur
Optional sweetener
Despite the name, it’s not actually a martini in the classic sense. There’s no gin and no vermouth. The name stuck because it’s served in a martini-style glass and feels just as polished.
What really makes it stand out is the combo of:
Bold coffee flavor
A light caffeine kick
A smooth, foamy top from freshly shaken espresso
That foam isn’t just for looks either. It changes how the drink smells and tastes with every sip, which is why espresso martinis feel so indulgent and memorable, especially when you’re learning about them through Menu Prices Dutch Bros.
