All of the ingredients are readily available at most supermarkets and liquor stores. The turbinado syrup adds an earthy richness, but in a pinch, you could swap it out with regular simple syrup. Make your own with a two-to-one (2:1) water-to-sugar ratio, or pick up a bottle of pre-made syrup for your bar cart! (It’s yummy in coffee, too.)

After you’ve tried the recipe once, you can play with the proportions to achieve your personal ultimate frozen espresso martini. And if you’re entertaining, consider topping your espresso martinis with two or three whole coffee beans, chocolate-covered coffee beans, a dollop of whipped cream, a whisper of shaved chocolate, or hey — all of the above.

Enjoy!
