Vegan Espresso Martini - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I tried an Espresso Martini at a cozy little café in the city.

It was an instant love affair!

I wanted to recreate that experience at home, but with a vegan twist.

This recipe means I can indulge in a classy drink that not only tastes amazing but also aligns with my whole food, plant-based lifestyle.

Plus, it’s super easy to whip up!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I like using oat oat milk for this recipe because it adds a nice creaminess, but feel free to experiment with almond or cashew oat milk too! Just make sure your coffee liqueur is vegan—some brands sneak in non-vegan ingredients, so check the label.

Tips & Notes

  • I chill my martini glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving—there's something special about a frosty glass.
  • When shaking, don’t hold back! The more vigorous your shake, the frothier your drink will be.

Recipe Variations

  • If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a splash of flavored syrup like vanilla or hazelnut for an extra twist.
  • Sometimes I switch out the vodka for rum—it's a fun variation that really changes the vibe!

Storage & Freezing

This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store it in the fridge for a short time. Just give it a good shake again before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use decaf espresso?

Absolutely! If you’re looking to enjoy the flavor without the caffeine jolt, decaf espresso works just fine.

What can I substitute for the coffee liqueur?

You can make your own vegan coffee liqueur at home with coffee, sugar, and vodka if you're up for a little kitchen adventure!

    Strain the mixture into two chilled martini glasses. I love using a fine mesh strainer to get that smooth finish.

    For a little extra flair, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans on top.
