The Vanilla Espresso Martini is a sweet and indulgent take on the iconic coffee cocktail. In this version, vanilla vodka replaces the classic vodka, bringing a soft, aromatic note that blends perfectly with the bitterness of freshly brewed espresso and the smoothness of coffee liqueur. A chic cocktail, perfect as a digestif or for an elegant evening.

• 5 cl vanilla vodka
• 4 cl freshly brewed espresso
• 2 cl coffee liqueur (Kahlúa, Tia Maria…)
• 1 cl sugar syrup (optional, to taste)
• Garnish: coffee beans, vanilla peel

1. In a shaker filled with ice, pour the vanilla vodka, cooled espresso, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup if desired.
2. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds to create a nice foam on top.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with coffee beans or a vanilla peel.

- Add a pinch of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.
- Swap vanilla vodka for caramel vodka for a richer flavor.
- Serve with a square of dark chocolate for a truly indulgent experience.
