How to Make A Coffee Martini With Dalgona Coffee

This is a nice variation of the Espresso Martini, floating the Dalgona Coffee on top of the martini. The Dalgona whips up into a nice, thick foam that adds some splash to your cocktail party. This recipe calls for cold Kona coffee but you could use espresso or any quality coffee.

Here is a video of 2 Cooks in the Kitchen making Coffee Martinis With Dalgona Coffee.

Ingredients:

Dalgona ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Coffee Martini Ingredients:

• 2 ounces coffee, cooled
• 1 ounce vodka
• 1/2 ounce Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
• 1/2 ounce Irish Cream (like Baileys)
• Blend granulated sugar and instant coffee for rim

Make the Dalgona Coffee

We’ll start by putting the 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar into an immersion blender cup. You can use any deep container for this, just so it doesn’t splash everywhere.

Add the Instant Coffee

We’ll add instant espresso to the container for our dalgona coffee. We find this gives a noice, rich flavor.

Whip It Good!

Then we’ll whip it into a foam with the whisk attachment on the immersion blender.

You’ll end up with a nice, thick foam.

Rim the Glasses

Presentation is key so we want to rim the glasses with a mixture of sugar and instant espresso. We’ll use a mixture of equal parts espresso and sugar. You can apply it to the whole rim or just part of the glass, which is rather elegant. We put the mixture in a shallow bowl, wet the rim with a little coffee and then roll the rim in the mixture.

Make the Coffee Martini

We’re using coffee for this recipe but you can easily elevate it by substituting a good espresso instead. We’ll start with 2 ounces of vodka in a cocktail shaker. This recipe is for 2 martinis.

Add Kahlua

We’ll add one ounce of Kahlua to our shaker.

Irish Cream

Next we’ll add 1 ounce of Irish Cream. Bailey’s is a good brand and the Kirkland from Costco is also good.

Add the Coffee

The last ingredient is the coffee. We’ll add 4 ounces of cold coffee to our shaker. Here is where you could use the same amount of espresso to elevate this a bit.

Add Ice and Shake

We’ll add some ice to our shaker and shake the mixture thoroughly.

Strain Into Glasses

We’ll strain the martinis into our prepared glasses.

Add the Dalgona

Lastly we will float a scoop of our dalgona foam on top of the martinis.
