This Thermomix Espresso Martini is made with vodka, espresso coffee and Kahlua. The great thing about making this in the Thermomix is you don't have to shake a cocktail shaker vigorously. The Thermomix does the hard work and still produces that lovely frothy foam.

"Quick , easy , delicious 🍸 👌"

The Espresso Martini was first created in the early eighties by a London bartender called Dick Bradsel. The rumour has it that a famous model entered the Soho Brasserie where he worked and asked him to create a drink that would "wake me up."
We love a boozy cocktail on a Friday night (or any night), and this is one of my favourites, along with a Mojito and Long Island Iced Tea.
Ingredients
Depending on which website you visit, there are many variations for an Espresso Martini. I've tested this recipe countless times with enthusiastic family members, and it wins every time.
- Vodka - Absolut is the vodka of choice in many recipes, but I'm sure other vodkas will do.
- Hot Espresso - any Thermomix recipes call for frozen espresso shots, which is fine if you want a frozen Espresso Martini. However, I am not in the least bit organised to freeze my espresso, so I use hot espresso instead. Using hot espresso makes it lovely and foamy, plus I'm impatient to let it cool down first. I also find that many Thermomix recipes call for the espresso coffee to be weighed in grams. This can be confusing when using a coffee machine, as there is no way to tell how many grams a shot is, so I've listed the measurement in MLS.
- Kahlua - a coffee liqueur made with rum, sugar, and 100% Arabica coffee. Since it already has sugar, I don't feel the need to add sugar syrup, which you find in some Espresso Martini recipes.
- Ice - an essential ingredient! Plenty of ice cools down the hot espresso and creates that lovely foam!
- Coffee Beans - purely optional for decoration but not to be eaten!
Tips on How to Make
- You can prepare all the ingredients in the Thermomix and mix for 30 seconds on reverse speed 4.
- Use the simmering basket as a strainer. The lovely foam happens at the end of pouring, so I always pour half a glass each and then top the rest with the foam.
- This Thermomix Espresso Martini recipe makes two glasses. I'm pretty confident that the recipe can be doubled or tripled to make more!

Thermomix Espresso Martini
This quick and easy Thermomix Espresso Martini is made with vodka, espresso coffee, and Kahlua. It's the perfect pick-me-up!
Ingredients
- 75g vodka
- 75g Kahlua
- 75ml freshly brewed espresso coffee, hot
- 150-200g ice cubes

Instructions
- If you have time, chill 2 Martini glasses in the fridge.

- Insert the simmering basket into the Thermomix, then strain the espresso martini into the glasses. You get the foamy bit at the end of pouring, so I always pour half a glass each and top with the remaining espresso martini to guarantee some froth in each glass. You can top each glass with three coffee beans if you wish.

Hi! Can you make more than 2 at a time?
Vicki says
Hi Tahlia, yes, you could easily double the recipe but keep the same amount of ice. Vicki.
