Espresso Martini

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 1/2 fluid ounces kahlua
• 1 1/2 fluid ounces brewed espresso (regular or decaf)
• 3 fluid ounces vanilla vodka
• 1 1/2 fluid ounces creme de cacao
• heavy cream or half-and-half (optional)

Recipe

• 1 fill a cocktail shaker 2/3 full with ice.
• 2 add ingredients and shake well until very cold.
• 3 strain into a martini glass.
• 4 in a plastic bottle with a narrow tip (candy melts bottle from a craft store or a picnic ketchup bottle from the dollar store), add some heavy cream.
• 5 starting from the center of the drink, start a spiral and cirle to the outside of the glass.
• 6 then take a stirrer or a toothpick and starting in the center of the drink, drag the stirrer to the edge of the glass.
• 7 return to center of the drink, and repeat procedure in"pie segments" to make a"web" with the heavy cream (or make any design that you'd like).
• 8 wow, after my second espresso martini tonight, that was rough describing-lol.
• 9 of course, the heavy cream is optional but it does make it look so pretty.
• 10 just be careful how many of these you consume because, like a spider lures it's prey-- you get the picture.
