Toffee Apple XIXpresso
The Toffee Apple XIXpresso Martini is our sweeter-leaning twist on the modern classic. It’s everything you love about a traditional Espresso Martini - rich coffee, velvety foam, and that iconic three-bean garnish - but built with XIX Toffee Apple Vodka for a smooth, sweet finish that tastes like your favourite after-dinner treat.
At a Glance
- Prep time: 5 minutes
- Serves: 1
- Difficulty: Medium
What You’ll Need
- 50ml XIX Toffee Apple Vodka
- 30ml Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 10ml Sugar syrup
- 1 strong Espresso (freshly brewed)
- Ice
- Garnish: 3 coffee beans
Top tip: Fresh espresso (still warm) helps create the best crema/foam once shaken. If your espresso is very bitter, add an extra 5ml sugar syrup to taste.
How to Make It
- Chill a martini or coupe glass (pop it in the freezer for a minute or fill with ice while you prep).
- Brew 1 strong espresso.
- Add XIX Toffee Apple Vodka, coffee liqueur, sugar syrup, and espresso to a shaker filled with ice.
- Shake hard for 10-15 seconds until the shaker feels ice-cold - this is what builds the foam.
- Fine strain into your chilled glass.
- Garnish with 3 coffee beans.
Coffee up front, toffee-apple smoothness on the finish. This cocktail might turn after-dinner into afterparty.
