Tequila Espresso Martini

The Tequila Espresso Martini is an exciting twist on the classic espresso martini, replacing vodka with tequila to create a bold and vibrant cocktail.

This drink combines the rich, robust flavour of freshly brewed espresso with the smooth, earthy notes of tequila, usually paired with coffee liqueur and a touch of sweetness. The result is a sophisticated cocktail that delivers both a caffeine kick and the distinctive warmth of agave spirit, making it a favourite for those who want something different from the usual vodka-based versions.

To make a perfect Tequila Espresso Martini, start with high-quality tequila—preferably a blanco or reposado - or our Clean T if you're going alcohol-free - freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa, and a little simple syrup or agave nectar to balance the bitterness of the coffee.

Shake all ingredients vigorously with ice to create a creamy, frothy top, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnishing with a few coffee beans adds an elegant touch and enhances the aroma. This cocktail is perfect for after-dinner drinks or any occasion where you want a stylish pick-me-up.

The Tequila Espresso Martini has gained popularity in bars and among home bartenders alike, thanks to its energising qualities and moreish taste. It appeals to tequila lovers looking for a cocktail with complexity and those who enjoy coffee cocktails with a spirited twist. Whether served at trendy lounges or crafted at home for a special night, this cocktail offers a refreshing alternative that combines the best of both worlds: the boldness of tequila and the rich depth of espresso.
