Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Valentine’s Cocktail — The white chocolate flavor makes this espresso martini a perfect dessert cocktail to make for Valentine’s Day. Plus, it’s easy to make a bunch for Galentine’s Day, or just a couple at a time for a date night. 
• Easy to Make — You just need 3 ingredients and under 5 minutes to make this cocktail. 
• Sweet & Delicious — This is definitely a sweet cocktail that tastes like dessert, so it’s perfect to serve after dinner as a dessert cocktail.

Ingredients

• Vodka: Regular vodka works perfectly well for this recipe, but if you happen to have it on hand, vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka or caramel vodka are great alternatives. 
• White Chocolate Syrup: You can use a store bought white chocolate drink syrup, or you can easily make your own White Chocolate Cocktail Syrup at home. As a substitution, you can use white chocolate liqueur (such as Godiva) if you are able to find it.
• Espresso: Use freshly brewed, high quality espresso. You can use instant espresso, but it won’t give the same, strong, fresh flavor. If you are OK with a stronger alcohol content, you can replace the espresso with a coffee flavored liqueur, such as Kahlua.

How To Make A White Chocolate Espresso Martini

Step 1: Add the vodka, espresso and white chocolate syrup to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for 20 seconds.

Step 2: Strain the cocktail and pour into chilled martini glasses.

Expert Tips

• Add some garnish. Some garnish ideas include a white chocolate covered rim, a dollop of espresso whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, a couple of coffee beans, or a cocktail pick with a white chocolate covered strawberry. 
• Make it sweeter. Although this drink is made with white chocolate syrup, it is still an espresso martini so it may taste too strong for some people. For a sweeter drink, add in more white chocolate syrup or reduce the amount of vodka. 
• Chill the glasses. Chill the martini glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving the drink. This will help keep your drink extra cold once served.
