Step 1: Start by preparing your martini glass. Chill the glass by placing it in the freezer for about 5–10 minutes. If you want an added touch of sweetness, rim the glass with crushed toffee or caramel sugar. To do this, lightly moisten the rim with a little caramel syrup and dip it into the sugar. Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 ounce of vodka, 1 ounce of coffee liqueur, 1 ounce of crème de cacao, 1 ounce of freshly brewed espresso, and ½ ounce of caramel syrup. Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker to ensure the drink gets thoroughly chilled and well-mixed. Step 3: Secure the lid tightly on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. This step not only chills the drink but also ensures the ingredients blend seamlessly, creating a rich, frothy texture. Step 4: Once shaken, remove your chilled martini glass from the freezer. Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass, using a fine mesh strainer to remove any ice shards. This results in a smooth and silky texture, perfect for sipping. Step 5: Garnish the Caramel Mocha Martini with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a few chocolate shavings for an extra touch of elegance. If you prefer, sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top to add an extra layer of mocha flavor.
