Espresso Martini / Coffee Martini

The coffee, or espresso martini gives you a caffeine buzz and an alcohol buzz at the same time.  There are two types of martinis: the gin martini and the vodka martini. Let me assure you that gin does not work for this drink, so don't bother. Stick with a vodka base. Many of the recipes call for a shot of some other flavored liquor or liqueur, such as:

Coffee and Vanilla Stolichnaya - flavored vodka
Godiva Original and Cappuccino - Original is chocolate flavored liqueur, Cappuccino is a sweet coffee flavor
Kahlua - coffee flavored liqueur
Bailey's Irish Creme - creamy, vanilla liqueur
Frangelico - nut-flavored liqueur

Here are a variety of drink recipes for you to try:
