Notes

- Use freshly brewed coffee for the best frothy top on this drink (there’s no need to let it cool down).
- Use plenty of ice – this espresso martini with rum is intended to be served well chilled.
- Don’t guess measurements. This drink is a finely balanced mixture of ingredients, so measure them out accurately.
- If you do not own a coffee machine you can still make this rum espresso martini. Try brewing the coffee in a cafetiere (French press) or a moka pot.
- Increase or decrease the amount of vanilla syrup to suit your own tastes.
- Swap the dark rum for spiced rum for variety.
