KopiO Martini
Coffee first. Everything else follows.
The Espresso Martini is often built backwards — sweetened first, then corrected. This version starts with coffee structure and lets KopiO® do the work it’s meant to do.
Dry. Focused. Controlled. KopiO reinforces roast and length, allowing the drink to stay sharp without relying on excess sugar or foam tricks. The coffee reads clearly, from first aroma to finish.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
Build
40 ml vodka
30 ml KopiO® Coffee Liqueur
30 ml freshly brewed espresso, hot
5–10 ml simple syrup (optional, adjust sparingly)
Garnish
3 coffee beans
Method
1. Prepare
Pull espresso fresh.
Hot coffee matters — it drives crema and aroma.
2. Shake
Add vodka, KopiO®, espresso, and syrup (if using) to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
3. Strain
Double strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
4. Garnish
Place three coffee beans on the foam.
Nothing else.
Serving Notes
Skip syrup if your espresso has proper bitterness
Use a neutral vodka — let coffee lead
Serve immediately while the foam is tight
