If you love a good espresso martini but want something a little gin-nier that you can make at home, then this one’s for you. The Ginspresso Martini is our spin on the classic cocktail, made with our signature Ginspresso, a splash of vodka (or your favourite gin), and a shot of freshly brewed espresso. That’s it. Three ingredients, one shaker, and about 60 seconds between you and the perfect at-home cocktail.
The best bit? You don’t need a fancy bar setup or mixology degree - just a few pantry staples and a little muscle to get that frothy layer on top.
Ginspresso Martini Recipe
You'll need:
- 45 ml Ginspresso
- 30 ml vodka (or plain gin)
- 30 ml fresh espresso shot
- Crushed ice
- Coffee beans (for garnish)
How to make it:
- Combine the Ginspresso, vodka and espresso in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake it like you mean it - this step is key to getting that beautiful, creamy foam.
- Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with three coffee beans for luck (and looks).
Why It Works
Our Ginspresso brings the rich, roasted coffee flavour and a hint of sweetness, while the vodka or gin adds balance and body. The result? A perfectly smooth, slightly indulgent cocktail.
Whether you’re hosting friends or just winding down after work, this quick three-ingredient recipe proves that good cocktails don’t have to be complicated - especially when they start with Heaps Good Spirits.
