Getting together for a celebratory drink and is a great way to spend quality time with Dad.

It is simply the best cocktail recipe for your Father’s Day menu.

Dangerously good with a healthy dose of liquor, this coffee cocktail is made with espresso, vodka and Kahlua. This is hands down one of our favourite cocktails. We’ll whip one up for a delicious pick-me-up or order one at the bar with – or instead of – dessert. Although it would pair with our Whiskey Bacon Cookies perfectly!

What do you need to make an Espresso Martini?

• Freshly brewed espresso
• Kahlua
• Vodka
• Coffee grinds or beans, for garnish
• Simple syrup
• Ice
• Jigger
• Cocktail shaker
• Martini or Nick and Nora glasses

To the cocktail shaker, add Kahlua,

and then the simple syrup,

the brewed espresso…

and the vodka.

Add three cubes of ice per martini to the shaker as well.

Shake – vigorously and until the whole shaker is ice cold to the touch. The stronger your shake, the more foam you’ll get!

Garnish with coffee grounds or beans.

We hope you and your Dad enjoy our Espresso Martini! Have a happy Father’s Day. If you’re looking for some great gift ideas – check out our Easy Garden Markers and our Father’s Day Art Frame.
