This vegan espresso martini is a classic coffee martini with a vegan twist! It’s easy to make in just 5 minutes and a great cocktail to share with friends.

Ingredients

For the rims:

  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground coffee

For the cocktail:

  • ice
  • 1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) vodka
  • 1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) espresso
  • 1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) Tia Maria

Optional:

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cashew milk for a creamy martini
  • Up to 2 teaspoons maple syrup

Instructions

  • Mix together the sugar and ground coffee on a small plate.
    2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground coffee
  • Pour a little espresso (or water) into a saucer, flat plate, or shallow bowl larger than your glass.
  • Dip glasses in the espresso to wet the rims. Then dip in sugar. Set aside.
  • Fill the cocktail shaker about halfway full with ice.
    ice
  • Add the vodka, espresso, Tia Maria and cashew milk.
    1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) vodka, 1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) espresso, 1.5 oz (3 tablespoons) Tia Maria, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cashew milk
  • Shake well, at least 20 seconds (in hopes of creating some foam). Taste and add maple, if desired. Shake a few more seconds and quickly (so that the foam is still there) strain into the rimmed glasses.
    Up to 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • Top each with 3 coffee beans and/or grated coffee beans.

Notes

  • You can use any type of plant-based milk that you'd like instead of cashew milk. Canned coconut milk would probably be too chunky, though, unless you warm it up first.
