Espresso Martini Cocktail Recipe | 4K Photo

Just a quick continuation on from our Mint Julep recipe earlier this week, and we're moving straight on to the big guns – Espresso Martinis! While Mint Juleps are my current  favourite shizzle of choice, the Espresso Martini is Hollie's current all star player.

Again, we decided to play around with the LUMIX LX100 4K camera, so you could get a real feel for the preparation process. Plus, I'm finding it really fun experimenting with different subjects - especially ones you can drink after!

The Espresso Martini is really simple to make, but we've also added a variation into the recipe, which gives it a slightly creamier taste. Both are worth a shot, just play around until you find the one you like. We took this recipe from Gennaro Contaldo.

Ingredients

- 2oz Vodka - We used Black Cow, but regular Smirnoff would work well

- 1.5oz Kahlua Coffee Liqueur - Try for Bailey's Irish Cream for a creamier texture

- 1 shot Espresso

- Ice

Instructions

- Chill Martini glass in the freezer

- Pour the Vodka and Coffee Liqueur into a cocktail shaker, over ice

- Add freshly brewed Espresso

- Shake for a good 30 seconds, making sure it's getting all nice and mixed up

- Pour the contents through a strainer, straight into the glasses
- Add a couple of Espresso beans on top, and enjoy!

Let us know if you decide to make some! You can see more of our 4K Photography posts here, and hear more about the process here.
