Love in a Glass

Vodka
Drink: Love in a Glass

If you’re in the mood for a boozy dessert with a kick to get you out of a burnout cycle, you’ll fall in love with this cocktail. This rich, mocha-flavored martini is a tasty treat to sip on while you organize your life. If you make this in the evening, we recommend considering switching to decaf. But if you need a boost of energy like we sure do, a little regular espresso goes a long way.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz. Svedka vanilla vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz. Chocolate syrup or Nutella
  • 1 oz. espresso or coffee
  • 2 1/2 oz. heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • Coffee beans, to garnish

Preparation

  1. Brew your favorite brand of espresso or coffee to your liking.
  2. Add the coffee, vodka, chocolate syrup, and heavy whipping cream shaker filled with ice and shake until well-chilled. The longer you shake, the frothier it will be.
  3. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  4. Garnish with coffee beans and enjoy.
