If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’m a big fan of an Espresso Martini. I’ve been enjoying one or two on nights out for quite a while now and I really love the flavour as well as the buzz from the caffeine.
However, I’ve recently discovered the Baileys Flat White Martini and now I have a new favourite coffee-based cocktail!
I’m pretty sure you’re wondering what’s in this lovely-looking drink, right? Well, it’s Baileys Irish Cream Liquor, vodka and espresso. 3 delicious ingredients all tumbled together into one cocktail. A very grown up and extremely easy cocktail to enjoy in the afternoon, the evening, maybe even the morning if you’re really outgoing (I’d never do that, Mum, if you’re reading…!)
I really like this cocktail with some salty bar snacks on the side. Something like the Hodmedod’s Roasted Green Peas in the below picture would be perfect.
Now I’ve told you how delicious this drink is, I suppose I’d better make sure you know how to make it too. Here you go…

Looks delicious Kevin! I also love the caffeine hit from an espresso (or perhaps now flat white) martini! Great post 🙂
Thank you! As somewhat of a caffeine addict, I appreciate any way to get it into any of my drinks…
Looks great Kevin, I'm not a big fan of coffee but even I could be persuaded to try this! Yum.x
Go on, you know you want to! *passes glass* 🙂
Looks amazing! I love Baileys, but never sure what to do with it other than drinking it with ice – must try this!
Thanks Jemma. You really should try this… And the other drinks I've linked into my post too. I bet they are all delicious. What drink isn't made better by the addition of Baileys?!
Yeah I LOVE espresso martinis too, alcohol plus caffeine, two of my favourite things! 😉 This one looks great!
I've spied an espresso martini or two on your social media too! Glad you like this one 🙂
I was eyeing this one up on the cocktail list too, now I am definitely making it. Coffee and Baileys are made for each other in every way!
Go, go, go! It's breakfast time so I make that Flat White Martini time, right?!
Enjoyed a few of theses flat white martinis last night for the first time now I am addicted Fab.
