An optional garnish for this drink is a rim made with equal parts coffee grounds and sugar. Use something a bit sticky (corn syrup, agave or honey) on the edge of your glass to create this fancy coffee rim.
Tips for Making
- Seasonal Variations – Substitute in a flavored vodka (or Bailey’s or Kahlua) to create a pumpkin spice or a peppermint version.
- Bailey’s Espresso Martini – If you swap the brewed coffee for espresso, this drink becomes a Bailey’s version of the Espresso Martini.
- Garnish Ideas – Try a chocolate sauce rim, a dollop of whipped cream on the top or use coffee-flavored candies (on a cocktail pick) as your garnish.
