Vodka base
Espresso Martini
The espresso has to be fresh and hot going in - that is where the foam comes from. Cold coffee gives a flat drink with no head. My own version differs and always gets good reviews: a double espresso, 45 ml vodka infused with split vanilla pods, 15 ml butterscotch liqueur, 15 ml sugar syrup, no coffee liqueur.
