How to make an Espresso Martini

Using Single-Serve Coffee Capsules

By the Lavazza Team 2–3 minutes

Delight in the convenience of this single-serve Espresso Martini recipe! Using coffee capsules such as our Nespresso* Machine compatible capsules offers several benefits:

  • 1. Consistency: Pre-portioned brewed coffee ensures that each cocktail will have consistency of taste, preventing variations that can occur with manual brewing methods.
  • 2. Variety: All our coffee capsule ranges are offered in a variety of intensities and aromas and even available in decaf! Experiment with different blends to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • 3. Convenience: With capsules, there’s no need to grind coffee beans or measure out precise amounts of ground coffee. Simply pop the capsule into your machine, press a button, and you have a perfect shot of espresso ready to go.
  • 4. Freshness: Capsules are sealed to preserve freshness. The coffee inside remains protected from air, light, and moisture until you use it. This freshness translates into a vibrant and aromatic espresso for your cocktail.

This versatile recipe can be modified for whatever single-serve coffee capsules you prefer. Enjoy crafting your cocktail, and cheers!

Ingredients

  • 50ml Espresso (1 Coffee Capsule Brewed on Lungo, we recommend Ristretto)
