Tips & Variations
- Use Quality Cold Brew: For the best flavor, use a smooth, powerful cold brew. Store-bought or homemade both work!
- Chill Your Glass: Before you serve your cocktail, put your martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes to keep it extra cold.
- Shake it Well: To produce that frothy layer on top, shake the ingredients with ice for at least 15 seconds. This is the key to a fantastic martini.
- Make it Sweet: Do you like your drink sweeter? Before shaking, add a dash of simple syrup.
- No vodka? Change it up by using rum or tequila instead.
- Decaf Version: If you don’t want caffeine, use decaf cold brew.
- More Creamy: For a creamier martini, add 1 oz of heavy cream or a splash of Baileys.
- No alcohol: For a non-alcoholic version, leave out the vodka and coffee liqueur and add a splash of vanilla syrup.
Storage & Serving
You can mix the cold brew, vodka, and coffee liqueur ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to two days. Simply mix with ice before serving.
Storage: It’s ideal to drink this martini right once, but you can keep any leftovers in the fridge and shake them up before serving them again.
That’s all! This Cold Brew Martini is very easy to make, but it looks great. You’ll feel like a barista and bartender all at once.
