Twisted Espresso Martini

A bold twist on a classic espresso cocktail. Cold-brew coffee swapped for chilled espresso shot. Coffee liqueur replaced with amaretto to add a nutty depth. Vodka quantity trimmed, simple syrup adjusted for balance. Shaken till frothy with ice, strained carefully. Garnished with star anise for a fragrant finish. Kickstarts your senses with a bitter-sweet punch. Perfectly balanced sugar and coffee bitterness. Watch the froth rise when shaken right. Smooth texture, little sweetness, slight almond aroma plays well with vodka’s neutral bite. Coffee beans swapped to star anise bring an unexpected aromatic pop for sipping complexity.
