Low Sodium Espresso Martini

Rich, bold espresso meets smooth vodka and coffee liqueur in a cocktail that feels genuinely luxurious without requiring a bartender's skill set. The double-straining technique is the real secret here — pouring through both the shaker's built-in strainer and a fine mesh strainer in one steady motion is what creates that gorgeous, velvety foam on top. Shaking hard for a full 15 to 20 seconds until the shaker frosts over isn't just for show; it chills everything down perfectly and builds that signature frothy layer. Because the only sweetness comes from a measured half ounce of simple syrup, you're in complete control of the flavor balance — no mystery ingredients, no hidden sodium from pre-made mixes. The three coffee beans nestled in the center of the foam are a classic finishing touch that makes the whole thing look like it came straight from a cocktail bar. Serve it immediately so the foam stays intact and every sip hits exactly the way it should.
