I remember the first time I tried an Espresso Martini at a cozy little café in the city.
It was an instant love affair!
I wanted to recreate that experience at home, but with a vegan twist.
This recipe means I can indulge in a classy drink that not only tastes amazing but also aligns with my whole food, plant-based lifestyle.
Plus, it’s super easy to whip up!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I like using oat oat milk for this recipe because it adds a nice creaminess, but feel free to experiment with almond or cashew oat milk too! Just make sure your coffee liqueur is vegan—some brands sneak in non-vegan ingredients, so check the label.
Tips & Notes
- •I chill my martini glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving—there's something special about a frosty glass.
- •When shaking, don’t hold back! The more vigorous your shake, the frothier your drink will be.
Recipe Variations
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add a splash of flavored syrup like vanilla or hazelnut for an extra twist.
- •Sometimes I switch out the vodka for rum—it's a fun variation that really changes the vibe!
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store it in the fridge for a short time. Just give it a good shake again before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use decaf espresso?
Absolutely! If you’re looking to enjoy the flavor without the caffeine jolt, decaf espresso works just fine.
What can I substitute for the coffee liqueur?
You can make your own vegan coffee liqueur at home with coffee, sugar, and vodka if you're up for a little kitchen adventure!
