Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or small measuring cup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder for rimmed glass, optional
- 1 tablespoon sugar for rimmed glass, optional
- 4 ounces cold-brew coffee
- 1 ½ ounces Irish whiskey
- 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
- ½ ounce simple syrup homemade or store-bought (see note)
- Ice
Instructions
- If rimming the glass, mix together the espresso powder and sugar on a small plate. Spoon some water or simple syrup onto another small plate. The simple syrup gives it a bit more staying power, but water also works. Swirl the rim of the glass in the water or simple syrup to moisten. Then, swirl in the espresso powder-sugar mixture. Set aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, add the cold-brew coffee, Irish whiskey, Baileys Irish Cream, simple syrup and ice. Pop on the top and shake vigorously for about 15 to 30 seconds.
- Strain into martini glasses. Enjoy!
Notes
- If desired, chill the martini glasses in the freezer before serving for an extra refreshing cocktail. Alternatively, you can fill the glass with ice and water while mixing the drink and then dump it before pouring the martini into the glass.
- If making your own simple syrup, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a high simmer on the stove in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture simmers and the sugar dissolves, remove from heat. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This can be done well in advance and will keep for several weeks.
