Notes
If you don't have freshly brewed espresso: It's true that for best results and the best rum espresso martini recipe, you'll want to use freshly brewed espresso made with a Nespresso or an espresso machine if possible.
But if you don't have either, you can prepare 1.5 fluid ounces of Nescafe Instant Espresso -- just use 2 teaspoons of the instant espresso with 3 tablespoons of warm water and stir to dissolve. If you're in a pinch, you can use cold brew concentrate, but you won't get that foamy top that we all look for in an espresso martini recipe.
Tools: You'll also need a cocktail shaker to mix up your espresso rum martini, and an elegant cocktail glass -- here are the cocktail glasses I used in these photos.
