WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
100g golden caster sugar (white works too)
100ml vodka
50ml fresh espresso
50ml coffee liqueur (we like Kahlua)
50ml water
Ice
Coffee beans (optional, for a finishing touch)
STEP 1
Start by making the sugar syrup. Put the caster sugar into a small pan over medium heat and add 50ml of water. Stir and bring to a boil.
STEP 2
Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Put two of your favorite martini glasses in the fridge to chill.
STEP 3
Once the sugar syrup has cooled, pour one tablespoon into a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice, plus the vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur. Shake until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels cold to touch.
STEP 4
Strain-pour into your chilled martini glasses, and garnish with a few coffee beans if you're feeling fancy.
