Jitterbug Martini

Behold the Jitterbug

I got this recipe from Jen Zug at The Pile I’m Standing In and Jenny at wickedweaving. If you love coffee, this is your martini! I’m a bit of an old lady, so I make mine with decaf espresso shots, thereby pretty much negating the “jitterbug” effect. I’m sure that you are young, hip, and have no trouble falling asleep at night and will therefore make yours with the real thing.

Jitterbug Martini

1 shot cold espresso*
1 shot vanilla vodka
½ to 2/3 shot crème de cacao
½ to 2/3 shot Kahlua

Combine in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake, strain, and serve. Shake this one really well so that the cocktail will look like it has “crema” just like an espresso shot.

*Jen makes hers with double-strength coffee and it tastes just as good, if not better!
Cheers!
