As Spring Break gets underway and the weather gets warmer, there’s an especially unique day worth celebrating: National Espresso Martini Day.
Celebrated on March 15, this festive occasion honors the popular cocktail, which is typically made of vodka, coffee liqueur, and fresh espresso. For those looking to create this magic straight from their kitchens, one quick and easy recipe consists of 2 ounces of vodka, 1/2 ounce of coffee liqueur (usually Kahlúa), 1 ounce of freshly brewed espresso (or cold brew concentrate), 1/4 ounce of simple syrup, and coffee beans for garnishing. From there, add the mixture to a shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled, then top it with coffee beans and enjoy.
