Ingredients
Directions
7 STEPS
1
In a medium pot, bring the water, honey, and scraped vanilla bean to a boil over high heat.
2
Boil for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. The syrup makes enough for about 6 drinks. Tip: You can prepare the syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
3
Moisten the rim of your martini glass with water and dip it into the vanilla sugar to create a sugar rim.
4
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2-3 teaspoons of honey syrup, vanilla-infused vodka, Kahlúa, and freshly brewed espresso.
5
Add ice and shake vigorously for about 1 minute to combine and chill the mixture.
6
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass, leaving the ice in the shaker.
7
Garnish with a few coffee beans and serve immediately.
