Show-Stopping Chocolate Espresso Martini Recipe
When it comes to “bartending at home,” making your own chocolate espresso martini is not the easiest feat. However, with some guidance and the inspiration of your own chocolate espresso martini at Coletta in NYC, you’ll have no problem steering in the right direction.
This traditional dessert martini starts with a foundation of vegan vodka, prepared and purified without the use of animal by-products.

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons of coconut sugar
1 tablespoon of ground coffee
2 tablespoons of vodka
1 tablespoon of vegan coffee liquor
- 2 tablespoons of espresso
2 tablespoons of cashew milk
1 teaspoon of maple syrup
Ice
Instructions
- Begin by rimming the martini glass. Mix together the coconut sugar and ground coffee on a flat surface. Gently wet the rim of the martini glass with a spare drop of espresso, dip in the sugar-coffee mixture, and swirl the rim until coated.
- Combine the maple syrup, vodka, espresso, coffee liquor, cashew milk, and ice in a cocktail shaker. After closing the shaker, shake the contents vigorously for around thirty seconds or until the contents have fully chilled.
- Gently pour the drink into the prepared martini glass, keeping the ice in the shaker. Enjoy!
Chocolate Espresso Martini Mocktail
Though this dessert cocktail is truly unforgettable, alcohol is not a requirement to enjoy this drink. Whenever that espresso cocktail craving hits, feel free to give this delicious vegan mocktail a try.
Ingredients
- A handful of vegan, dark chocolate chips
2 ounces of espresso
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste
3 ounces of full-fat coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons of maple syrup
2 ounces of non-alcoholic vodka (optional)
Ice
Instructions
- Begin by rimming your glass. Crush the vegan chocolate chips into a rough, chunky powder. This can easily be achieved with an empty wine bottle, but alternatively, you may use a food processor for a more fine result.
- Wet the rim of the glass with a drop or two of espresso, and then run the rim through the ground chocolate, until coated to your desired level.
- Combine the vanilla bean paste, espresso, coconut milk, and maple syrup in a cocktail shaker. If you choose non-alcoholic vodka, you may also add this. Though not necessary, this addition may add a sharper flavor to the background, adding to the “mocktail” effect.
- Fill the cocktail shaker about halfway with ice. Close it, and shake it vigorously for about a minute. Ideally, this will enhance the creamy texture while also helping the flavors meld.
- Pour the beverage into your prepared glass, and enjoy every sip of this creamy, sweet beverage!
