How to Make a Flavoured Coffee Espresso Martini with Beanies Coffee Bags

With Beanies flavoured coffee bags, you can create an espresso martini that’s not only easy to make but also uniquely delicious. Whether you’re hosting a party or treating yourself, this recipe will impress.

Beanies coffee bags are designed for convenience without sacrificing taste. Each bag is packed with finely ground coffee and natural flavourings, so you can brew a single cup of perfectly flavoured coffee in minutes. In this guide, we’ll show you how to turn that brew into a cocktail that rivals any bar. Get ready to shake up your coffee routine!

Why Use Beanies Coffee Bags for an Espresso Martini?

Traditional espresso martinis require an espresso machine or strong brewed coffee. Beanies coffee bags simplify the process: just steep a bag in hot water for a few minutes, and you have a concentrated, flavourful coffee base. Plus, with flavours like Koffie met cappuccinosmaak or Koffie met Chai Latte smaak, you can skip the syrups and liqueurs—the flavour is already in the bag.

Using Beanies coffee bags also means you can experiment with different profiles. For a dessert-like twist, try Koffie met pecannotengebak. If you prefer a classic touch, Koffie met speculoosaroma adds a hint of spice. The possibilities are endless, and each bag delivers consistent, high-quality flavour.

• No espresso machine needed – just hot water and a mug.
• Pre-flavoured coffee eliminates the need for extra syrups.
• Perfect for single servings: one bag, one cocktail.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make one flavoured espresso martini, gather the following: 1 Beanies coffee bag (choose your favourite flavour), 60 ml hot water (just off the boil), 50 ml vodka, 30 ml coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa), 10 ml simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste), and ice cubes. You’ll also need a cocktail shaker, a strainer, and a martini glass.

For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and coffee liqueur, and add a splash of milk or cream. The Beanies coffee bag provides all the flavour you need.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by brewing your Beanies coffee bag. Place the bag in a heatproof mug or glass and pour 60 ml of hot water over it. Let it steep for 3-4 minutes, then remove the bag and gently squeeze to extract all the flavour. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature (you can speed this up by placing it in the fridge).

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the cooled coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup if using. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold. Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. For a professional touch, garnish with three coffee beans on top of the foam.

• Chill your martini glass beforehand for a better presentation.
• Shake hard to create a frothy foam layer on top.

Flavour Pairing Ideas

The beauty of Beanies coffee bags is the variety. For a nutty, indulgent martini, use Koffie met pecannotengebak. The pecan pastry notes complement the vodka and liqueur beautifully. If you want a spicy, aromatic cocktail, Koffie met Chai Latte smaak adds cinnamon and cardamom notes that pair wonderfully with the alcohol.

For a classic dessert martini, try Koffie met speculoosaroma. The speculoos spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) creates a cozy, festive flavour. You can also experiment with Koffie met cappuccinosmaak for a creamy, mild profile that lets the coffee shine.

Tips for the Perfect Beanies Espresso Martini

Use freshly boiled water but let it cool slightly before steeping to avoid bitterness. Steep the bag for exactly 3-4 minutes – any longer and the coffee may become too strong. Always cool the coffee before shaking to prevent the ice from melting too quickly, which would dilute the cocktail.

If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup or use a flavoured vodka. For a stronger coffee kick, use two Beanies coffee bags with the same amount of water. Remember, the coffee liqueur also adds sweetness, so taste before adding extra sugar.

• Double strain through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a super smooth texture.
• Make a batch for parties: multiply ingredients and shake in a large shaker.

Now you have everything you need to craft a delicious flavoured coffee espresso martini with Beanies coffee bags. Whether you choose a nutty, spicy, or creamy flavour, this cocktail is sure to impress. Grab your favourite Beanies bag and start shaking! For a classic start, try the Koffie met cappuccinosmaak – it’s a crowd-pleaser.
