The Maple Bourbon Espresso Martini is a sophisticated cocktail that perfectly balances the rich flavors of bourbon and fresh espresso with the sweetness of maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon. This invigorating drink is shaken vigorously to create a smooth, frothy finish and topped with espresso beans for an elegant presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1.5 oz fresh espresso (or cold brew)
  • 1 oz Lebowski’s Kool-Luah Coffee Liqueur
  • 0.75 oz maple syrup

Spices & Extras

  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Dash of cinnamon powder

Garnish

  • 3 espresso beans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the espresso: Brew fresh espresso, cold brew, or an extra strong brewed coffee and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes to avoid diluting the cocktail with heat.
  2. Combine ingredients in shaker: Pour the cooled espresso, bourbon, Kool-Luah coffee liqueur, maple syrup, cinnamon powder, and sea salt into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Add ice and shake: Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30-40 seconds to chill the mixture and create a thick, velvety layer of foam on top.
  4. Strain the cocktail: Strain the mixture into a coupe glass. For an even smoother foam, use a double strain to remove ice shards and coffee grounds.
  5. Garnish and serve: Place three espresso beans on the foam as garnish, serve immediately, and enjoy your Maple Bourbon Espresso Martini made with the distinctive flavor of Lebowski’s Kool Luah coffee liqueur.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso or cold brew for the best flavor and to achieve the characteristic frothy top.
  • The double straining step is optional but recommended for a cleaner, smoother drink.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity based on your sweetness preference.
  • Use quality bourbon and coffee liqueur to enhance the cocktail’s depth.
  • Chilling the glass beforehand can help keep the drink cold longer.
