The Best Espresso Martini Recipe Using Bulldog Beans
This classic espresso martini recipe uses freshly pulled espresso from our Bulldog Beans to deliver bold flavor, rich crema, and a smooth finish.

2 oz vodka
1 oz fresh espresso brewed with Blue House Coffee Roasters Bulldog Beans
½ oz coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa
¼ oz simple syrup, optional
Ice
Three coffee beans for garnish
Instructions
Brew a fresh shot of espresso using Bulldog Beans. Fresh espresso creates the signature crema that defines a great espresso martini.
Let the espresso cool slightly while you prepare your shaker.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and simple syrup.
Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until chilled and frothy.
Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
Garnish with three coffee beans for a traditional finish.
The key to the perfect espresso martini cocktail is high quality espresso. Using specialty coffee from a craft coffee roaster ensures balanced sweetness, depth, and structure.
Why Bulldog Beans Make the Perfect Espresso Roast for Cocktails
Bulldog Beans are roasted specifically to highlight bold flavor, smooth body, and rich chocolate notes. As an espresso roast, they provide the strength needed to stand up to vodka while maintaining balance and natural sweetness.
When you use fresh roasted coffee beans from a small batch coffee roaster, you get:
Fuller crema and better foam
More pronounced coffee flavor
Balanced sweetness without overpowering bitterness
A smoother finish in coffee cocktails
Whether you are hosting a gathering, creating a signature cocktail menu, or simply celebrating National Espresso Martini Day at home, starting with high quality specialty coffee makes all the difference.
