Father’s Day Espresso Martini Recipe 

Ingredients

1 shot of fresh Nespresso espresso (cooled to room temperature)

1 oz premium Grey Goose vodka

1 oz Kahlua or other coffee liqueur

Ice cubes

Rita Farhi dark chocolate-coated coffee beans (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Brew a fresh shot of espresso and let it cool completely.

2. In a cocktail shaker, add ice, the cooled espresso, vodka, and Kahlua.

3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is chilled and frothy.

4. Strain into a chilled martini glass.

5. Garnish with 2 or 3 chocolate-coated coffee beans for an irresistible finish.

Why It Works

The strong espresso provides bold flavour and balance, while the vodka and Kahlua offer smoothness and just the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate-coated coffee beans add texture, depth, and a hint of indulgence that transforms this from a simple cocktail to a gift-worthy experience.

The Perfect Pairing

Serve this Espresso Martini alongside our Fruit & Nut Selection for a full-flavoured finish to your Father’s Day meal. Or keep it simple, the cocktail alone, topped with our beans, says it all.

Cheers to Dad, and to truly unforgettable flavours.
