The espresso martini is one of those controversial cocktails that you either love, hate, or love to hate. Perhaps the meeting of espresso and vodka in a martini glass is the result of too many bartenders and baristas sitting in a room together. While the quintessential espresso martini combines a shot of freshly brewed espresso, a dash of coffee liqueur and a simple sugar syrup, this easy recipe uses a South African household staple: Instant coffee.
