Does espresso martini have coffee in it?
Espresso martinis are one of the most popular drinks around, but there is some debate about whether or not they actually contain coffee. Some people believe that espresso martinis are simply vodka martinis with a shot of espresso, while others believe that the drink is made with coffee liqueur and espresso.
So, what is the truth? Does espresso martini have coffee in it?
The answer is yes… and no. It depends on who you ask.
If you ask a bartender, they will likely say that espresso martinis are made with coffee liqueur and espresso. However, if you ask a coffee lover, they will probably tell you that espresso martinis are simply vodka martinis with a shot of espresso.
So, who is right?
Well, technically, both groups are correct. Espresso martinis can be made with either coffee liqueur or vodka, depending on your preference.
If you want a traditional espresso martini, it is best to ask for it made with coffee liqueur. However, if you are looking for a slightly different twist on the classic drink, you can ask for it made with vodka instead.

How much alcohol is in espresso martinis?
An espresso martini is a coffee-flavored cocktail made with vodka, espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup. While the exact recipe varies, the general consensus is that an espresso martini should contain about 1 ounce of vodka, 1/2 ounce of coffee liqueur, 1 ounce of espresso, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup.
What is the deal with an espresso martini?
Espresso martinis are all the rage these days, but what is the deal with them? For starters, they are delicious! A perfect combination of coffee and alcohol, these drinks are sure to give you a buzz. But beyond that, there are a few things that make espresso martinis unique.
First of all, they are made with espresso, which is a type of coffee that is highly concentrated and has a strong flavor. This gives the drink a bolder flavor than regular coffee, and also makes it a bit more caffeinated. So if you’re looking for a pick-me-up, an espresso martini is a great choice.
Another thing that sets espresso martinis apart is the way they are made. Most cocktails are made by mixing all of the ingredients together, but espresso martinis are made by layering the espresso and alcohol. This creates a more visually appealing drink, and also allows you to taste the espresso and alcohol separately.
So if you’re looking for a delicious and unique cocktail, an espresso martini is a great option. Just be sure to drink responsibly!
