1 Secret Ingredient to Make the Most Luxurious Coffee Martini

What’s the secret ingredient to making the most luxurious, fine coffee martini? Ground cinnamon. You may have already heard of one way to make your morning brew taste better—adding cinnamon to the grounds. So you might be intrigued by the concept of adding cinnamon to your coffee martini.

Here, cinnamon does the same thing—it enhances the flavor of coffee in your martini by adding a light sweetness. That sweet spice factor does a little something special to your coffee martini—it makes it taste richer, more luxurious. Give it a try and see for yourself.

What is a Coffee Martini?

A classic martini is a cocktail that’s made by shaking up or stirring chilled gin and vermouth, served in a martini glass. Over the years, gin has become interchangeably used with vodka. So when you see a martini recipe, it can be made with gin or vodka.

A coffee martini takes the basic premise of a martini and remixes it with a strong focus on one key ingredient: coffee. For today’s coffee martini, we’ll be shaking up coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup, and one secret ingredient.

How to Make a Coffee Martini

Before we begin, brew a batch of your favorite coffee and set it in the fridge to cool.

First things first, bring out your favorite cocktail shaker and fill it with ice.

Then, add the chilled coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur, simple syrup and cinnamon to the shaker.

Here’s where things differ from the normal shaken martini: you’ll shake the cocktail shaker for quite a bit—past the point of it being merely mixed. You’ll shake and shake and shake vigorously to create a foam. This foam is what you see at the top of the coffee martini in each pic.

Next, strain the coffee martini mixture into a chilled martini glass. Make sure to get every last drop—the foam might be sitting at the very bottom of your shaker.

Carefully place three coffee beans on top of the foam. Sip and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Coffee Martini

Make sure to really shake the martini in the shaker, then while straining, make sure to get every last drop of the coffee martini mixture. The last few drops in the cocktail shaker can actually hold the delicious, light foam that adorns each coffee martini you see in these pics. 

Use the cinnamon—but start with a tiny amount, so you can adjust to taste. And, if you don’t like cinnamon, go ahead and leave it out.

Use your favorite coffee – the flavor of the coffee you use will shine through and make or break your coffee martini.

Make sure your favorite coffee tastes good chilled. Funny tip, I know… but have you noticed that some coffees taste so friggin’ good piping hot, then the second it gets even just a bit lukewarm, it’s nasty? Well, same applies to the kind of coffee you use for this coffee vodka martini. Make sure you use a coffee that tastes delicious when it’s cold.

A hint of cinnamon for luxurious coffee flavor that’s bold, a hint of sweet, and deliciously strong. One of Erik’s favorites!
