Directions
In a cocktail shaker full of ice, add the rum, espresso and coffee liqueur. Shake! Shake! Shake! The espresso martini relies on the shaking to create the iconic layer of foam on top so shake vigorously for around 30 seconds. This will also ensure that the cocktail is properly chilled. Gently pour your drink into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with coffee beans.
