Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces peppermint vodka
  • ½ ounce coffee liqueur
  • 1 ounce freshly brewed espresso
  • ½ ounce simple syrup
  • peppermint candies or candy canes crushed (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, add ice, peppermint vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup.
  • Shake vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • Strain the mixture into a martini glass, giving the shaker an extra shake at the end to pour out all the foam.
  • Serve immediately. For a festive touch, garnish with crushed peppermint around the rim or sprinkle a bit on top.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Brew the espresso right before mixing for the best flavor and froth.
  • Chill the martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes to keep the drink cool and refreshing.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less simple syrup.
