Just because it\u2019s hotter than hot outside doesn\u2019t mean we have to forgo our coffee obsessions: So shake up your summer<\/a> sipping game with an Espresso Martini. This ridiculously easy recipe gives the classic drink a caffeinated twist by blending the allure of coffee with the timeless appeal of a martini.<\/p>\n\"khalua<\/a>\n

Made with frozen coffee cubes blended up with a shot of espresso, some Kahlua liqueur, vodka, and a splash of simple syrup, this cocktail is the perfect treat for a hot day (or a not-hot day, no judgment). To add an extra fancy feel, dip the rims of your glasses in simple syrup (or even maple syrup) and then in a mixture of espresso powder and granulated sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"espresso<\/a>\n

Now, I think maple pairs perfectly with coffee, and you may feel the same way: If so, you can absolutely use maple syrup in place of the simple syrup in this blended martini. I like the flavor better, and it beats taking the extra step of making simple syrup. Plus, once the dog days of summer arrive, I know so many of us are already looking forward to fall days and fall flavors. Adding maple flavor to this frozen cocktail hits the spot while I\u2019m anxiously awaiting the arrival of apple and pumpkin season! <\/span><\/p>\n

Making this drink can turn an everyday moment extraordinary. So get ready to shake, pour, and savor your way to a cooler kind of cocktail hour. Happy sipping, and stay cool, friends!<\/span><\/p>\n
