- 1 1/2 oz. Rémy Martin VSOP
- 1 oz. Espresso brewed and cooled
- 1/2 oz. Coffee liqueur
- 1/4 oz. Simple syrup adjust to taste

Instructions

- Mix the Cocktail:
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the Rémy Martin VSOP, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice if you want it cold.
- Shake:
- Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only chills the drink but also creates a nice frothy top when poured.
- Strain:
- Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. The aim is to have a smooth liquid with a frothy top.
- Garnish:
- Place three coffee beans on top of the froth for a classic espresso martini garnish. This adds a visual appeal and a hint of coffee aroma.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of rich cognac and bold espresso in your Rémy Espresso Martini.
