1. Preparation: Brew a fresh espresso. Add the SALAMAKA® Organic Vodka, coffee liqueur, the hot espresso, and a splash of sugar syrup to taste into a cocktail shaker.‍
   ‍
2. Shaking: Fill the shaker generously with large, solid ice cubes. Seal it tightly and shake the mixture very vigorously for about 15 seconds. Shaking quickly with the hot coffee is essential to create that signature, fine-pored foam head.‍
   ‍
3. Serving: Strain the drink through a fine bar strainer (ideally using a fine-mesh tea strainer for a double strain) into a pre-chilled cocktail coupe or glass. This ensures the texture remains perfectly velvety and free of ice shards.
   ‍
4. ‍Garnishing: Carefully place three coffee beans in a triangle pattern on top of the dense foam. Traditionally, they represent health, wealth, and happiness.
   ‍
5. ‍Enjoying: Serve the Espresso Martini immediately, while the foam is perfectly set and the temperature is ice-cold.
   ‍

Tip: For this drink, use freshly ground, fair-trade, organic espresso. When shaken vigorously, the natural oils from the freshly brewed coffee blend perfectly with the smooth texture of our vodka, creating a rich, stable crema without any artificial additives.
