Espresso is a type of coffee drink made using an espresso machine to produce highly concentrated coffee. Espresso martinis are very popular so you might think that you can just mix some espresso and vodka and call it a day. You would be wrong.

The ingredients that make espresso martinis shine are simple syrup and coffee liqueur both of which help to balance out the sharper elements of the coffee and vodka. Without these ingredients you'll end up with an incredibly bitter drink making straight espresso a poor choice for a vodka mixer. Additionally mixing vodka and caffeine isn't the best option for your health; espresso martinis can leave you with a nasty hangover as both the alcohol and caffeine are dehydrating. They can also aggravate health conditions particularly heart disease as the two can increase your heart rate and blood pressure.
