Notes
Use freshly brewed espresso for best flavor. Shake vigorously to create a frothy top. For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut or oat cream. Chill martini glasses before serving for best presentation. Store premixed vodka, coffee liqueur, and espresso in fridge up to 24 hours; add cream and shake fresh before serving.
