Espresso Martini Espuma

Ingredients:

• 2 oz vodka
• 1 oz coffee liqueur
• 1 oz freshly brewed espresso
• 1 oz simple syrup
• 1/2 oz vanilla extract
• 1 egg white (optional, for extra frothiness)
• Ice cubes

For Espuma:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

Steps:

1. Prepare Espresso Martini Base: In a shaker, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, freshly brewed espresso, simple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg white if using. Add ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
2. Strain into Glass: Strain the Espresso Martini mixture into a martini glass, ensuring a smooth pour without ice.
3. Prepare Espuma: In a separate bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant espresso powder until stiff peaks form.
4. Top with Espuma: Gently spoon the Espresso Martini Espuma over the cocktail in the martini glass. Allow it to float on top, creating a luxurious foam layer.
5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or coffee beans. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, frothy experience of the Espresso Martini Espuma.
