Fabulous Coconut Espresso Martini – You’ll Wish You Tried this Sooner!
Are you bored with espresso martinis? Wait until you try this Coconut Espresso Martini! It has a tropical twist, is a little nutty, and is slightly sweet. Get ready to be WOWed!

Espresso Martinis are the perfect after-dinner drink; I love them. Recently I was out with friends, and Dawn described a GREAT martini she had recently tried. It was a coconut-flavored espresso martini. Sounds delightful, right? So the next evening I had to try it.

OMG. Dawn was right. This Coconut Espresso Martini is delightful and rather easy to make. Rimming the glass takes a few more minutes, but it’s well worth the wait.

Coconut Espresso Martini ingredients

- Coconut Vodka
- Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
- Baileys
- Espresso
I’ve found Veil & Pinnacle Vodkas to be excellent, ‘flavored’ vodkas.
Finally, let’s not forget the espresso. I have a Nespresso coffee maker so whipping up a cup of espresso is quick and easy. They are not inexpensive, but I’ve been using mine daily for years now, so I’ve gotten my money’s worth. And having fresh espresso in your martini makes all of the difference.

I’ve had dozens of shakers, some good, some ok, some really bad. But these two shakers are the best! To read more about them click here.
Best Ever Economical Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- Great price
- It will hold 3 martinis and ice (24 oz).
- Easy on top and cap. The top slides into the base and has a rubber seal. There is rubber on the neck of the top to hold the cap in place.
- Does not leak.
- Measuring Cap.
- Stainless Steel.
- Dishwasher safe (top rack).
- Easily disassembles.
Cons
- Single wall shaker (cold to the touch).
Deluxe Cocktail Shaker
Pros
- It will hold 3 martinis and ice (20 oz).
- Screw on cap and top.
- Shake with one hand (the lid will not pop off).
- Does not leak. There is a rubber gasket on the cap and top.
- Measuring Cap up to 6 ounces.
- Double-walled (not cold to the touch).
- Stainless Steel.
- Dishwasher Safe (top rack), but I hand wash mine due to the price.
Cons
- The top diameter is 10.5 inches (if you have arthritis in your hands, this may not be for you).
- Don’t over-tighten; it’s not necessary.
And don’t forget the chilled martini glass. Nothing is worse than a martini in a warm glass. Check out these 2 that I highly recommend. Joy Jolt set of 6 martini glasses in multi-colors and Crafthouse by Fortessa, set of 4 martini glasses. They are both dishwasher-safe. Joy Jolt is a short martini glass, great for stacking in the freezer, and the Crafthouse by Fortessa is tall and elegant. Still, finding a good spot to lay it down in the freezer is harder.

How to make a Coconut Espresso Martini
To make the Coconut Espresso Martini pour the Coconut Vodka, Kahlua, Baileys & espresso into a shaker filled with ice. While the martini is sitting in the shaker, spread the fluff on a small plate.

Add the coconut to another small plate.

Roll the rim of your martini glass into the fluff.

Then dip your martini glass rim down into the coconut.

Shake the shaker for 15 seconds and pour the strained contents of the shaker into the rimmed martini glass. Now sit back and enjoy!
