Pro Tips
- Fresh espresso creates the best foam — instant coffee won't give you that signature frothy top
- Shake hard and long to create the creamy texture
- Chill your glass beforehand for the perfect serve
- For a sweeter version, add a touch more simple syrup
Why KOVAL?
Unlike mass-produced coffee liqueurs, KOVAL Coffee Liqueur is crafted from organic ingredients with real coffee flavor — not artificial sweetness. The result is a more sophisticated, less cloying Espresso Martini that lets the coffee shine through.
