Description

This Non-Alcoholic Espresso Martini delivers the same bold coffee flavor and velvety froth as the classic cocktail—without the alcohol! Made with fresh espresso, coffee syrup, and a non-alcoholic spirit alternative, this refined mocktail is the perfect after-dinner drink or elegant pick-me-up.

Ingredients
    For the Non-Alcoholic Espresso Martini:
  • 50 ml Non-Alcoholic Vodka Alternative (like Seedlip Grove 42 or Lyre’s White Cane Spirit for a similar bite)
  • 30 ml Coffee Syrup (or 15 ml coffee extract mixed with 15 ml simple syrup)
  • 25 ml Freshly Brewed Espresso (cooled to room temperature for best froth texture)
  • 10 ml Simple Syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)
  • Ice Cubes (for shaking and chilling the drink)
  • 3 Whole Coffee Beans (for garnish, symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness)
Instructions
    Brew the Espresso
  1. 1
    Prepare a fresh shot of espresso using an espresso machine or a stovetop moka pot. Allow it to cool slightly before using (warm espresso can dilute the mocktail too quickly).
    2. Fill the Shaker with Ice
  2. 2
    Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous amount of ice to properly chill and aerate the ingredients.
    3. Add the Ingredients
  3. 3
    Pour non-alcoholic vodka alternative, coffee syrup, cooled espresso, and simple syrup (if using) into the shaker.
    4. Shake Vigorously
  4. 4
    Secure the shaker lid and shake forcefully for 15-20 seconds to create a foamy texture. The harder you shake, the better the froth will be when poured.
  5. 5
    Strain and Serve
    6. Double strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass using a fine mesh sieve to achieve a silky smooth finish.
  6. 6
    Garnish and Enjoy
    7. Float three coffee beans on top as a signature garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of coffee and sweetness!
Note
  • For a Sweeter Version: Increase simple syrup to 15 ml or use vanilla-flavored coffee syrup.
  • For Extra Froth: Shake the cocktail for longer and harder to aerate the espresso properly.
  • Alternative Garnishes: Try grated dark chocolate or a dusting of cinnamon for extra depth.
  • Storage Tip: Espresso should be made fresh, but if needed, chill brewed espresso in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
