Instructions

Strain the liquid into a martini glass and top with espresso beans.

Notes
This simple recipe is just three equal parts of espresso, vodka, and Kahlua. It can easily be modified to make more more than one cocktail.
You can make espresso at home without an espresso maker. Just mix together instant espresso powder with hot water according to package instructions.
To get an extra chilled martini, fill your martini glass with ice and cold water and let sit for a minute. Dump out the ice and water and dry out the glass before adding in the cocktail.
Be sure to shake the cocktail vigorously in the cocktail shaker. You really want to make sure you create that delicious foam on top of the martini.
Making martinis for a crowd? Fill a pitcher full of equal parts of the ingredients, stir, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, pour the drink into a cocktail shaker, shake with ice, and serve.
