What You’ll Need:
- 1 oz espresso (cooled) or strong coffee
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)

- 1/2 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
- Ice cubes
- Cocoa powder (for garnish)
- Optional: Ladyfinger or chocolate shaving for garnish
Pro Tips:
- Chill your martini glass ahead of time for an extra fancy touch. Just pop it in the freezer for a few minutes!
- Freshly brewed espresso works best, but strong coffee will still do the trick.
- Don’t skip the cocoa powder garnish—it’s what makes it feel like tiramisu!
Tools You’ll Need:
- Cocktail shaker
- Strainer
- Martini glass
- Small sifter (for cocoa powder)
Substitutions & Variations:

- Dairy-free? Swap the cream for coconut milk or almond milk creamer.
- For a little extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring.
Make Ahead Tips:
You can pre-mix the espresso, coffee liqueur, vodka, and Irish cream in advance and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, just shake it with cream and ice!
