Lupin Free Espresso Martini
Few cocktails make an entrance quite like this one — that signature layer of foam on top is practically irresistible before you even take a sip. The combination of freshly brewed espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and a touch of simple syrup creates a drink that's bold, slightly sweet, and deeply satisfying. Shaking the mixture vigorously over ice is the secret to that beautiful, café-worthy froth, and double-straining keeps the texture silky smooth in the glass. For anyone navigating lupin sensitivities, this recipe is naturally a safe bet — every ingredient here is straightforward and free from the flour-based additives or blended mixes that can sometimes sneak the legume in. There's no mystery blend or pre-made cocktail mix involved, just clean, recognizable components you can source with confidence. Serve it immediately after pouring so the foam stays intact, and finish with three coffee beans in the center for that classic, elegant touch.
