Soufflé Espresso Martini

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 ounce chilled espresso
• 2 ounces water
• 2 ounces vodka
• 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur
• 1 ounce chilled espresso
• 1/4 ounce simple syrup

Steps

1. Combine foam ingredients in cocktail shaker and reverse dry shake—shake for 20–30 seconds with ice, remove ice, and shake for an additional 20–30 seconds to maximize foam. Pour evenly into a straight walled Martini glass.
2. While foam settles and solidifies, mix Espresso Martini by placing drink ingredients in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
3. When foam is set, use a straw to hollow out a small hole in the center. Carefully pour espresso martini into the glass through the hole in the foam, allowing the foam to rise while the drink settles to the bottom. Garnish with three espresso beans.
