Low Iodine Espresso Martini
Cocktails can feel like a minefield when you're navigating a low-iodine approach, but this one is genuinely good news — every ingredient here fits the bill without any substitutions required. The combination of freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup creates that iconic bittersweet, boozy flavor that makes this drink such a crowd-pleaser. Shaking it hard over ice is the secret to that gorgeous, velvety foam on top, and double-straining into a chilled glass keeps the texture silky smooth. It's the kind of cocktail that looks like it came from a serious bar program but comes together in your own kitchen in minutes. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just treating yourself after a long week, this is the kind of indulgence that doesn't require any compromise.
