The Coffee Cream Martini is a silky, elegant cocktail that sits somewhere between an Espresso Martini and a White Russian. Shaken with vodka and fresh cream, MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted from 100% Kenyan Arabica coffee, brings roasted depth, dark chocolate and caramel to a smooth, velvety finish.

Served straight up in a chilled coupe, it's a refined after-dinner drink that feels like dessert in a glass.

HOW TO MAKE A Coffee Cream Martini

  • Coupe glass being chilled with ice for a Coffee Cream Martini

    STEP 1 - Chill a coupe glass

    Fill a coupe or martini glass with ice and water while you make the drink. A properly chilled glass keeps the cocktail cold and silky from the first sip to the last.

  • Vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur being poured into a cocktail shaker

    STEP 2 - Add the vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur

    Pour the vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted with premium Kenyan Arabica coffee, into a cocktail shaker. Together they give the drink its clean backbone and deep roasted coffee character, with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.

  • Single cream being poured into a cocktail shaker with ice

    STEP 3 - Add the cream and fill with ice

    Add the single cream, then fill the shaker with plenty of fresh ice. The cream brings a soft, velvety body that rounds out the roasted coffee and lets the chocolate and caramel notes shine.

  • Cocktail shaker being shaken to make a Coffee Cream Martini

    STEP 4 - Shake hard for 15 seconds

    Seal the shaker and shake hard for around 15 seconds. A vigorous shake chills the drink and whips the cream into a light, silky texture with a soft foam on top.

    STEP 5 - Strain, garnish & serve

    Discard the ice from the chilled glass and double strain the cocktail into it. Finish with three coffee beans on the foam, adding a warm roasted aroma that complements the rich coffee, dark chocolate and caramel notes in the cocktail.

The History of the Coffee Cream Martini

The Coffee Cream Martini draws on two great coffee cocktail traditions. From the Espresso Martini, created by bartender Dick Bradsell in 1980s London, it takes its shaken, straight-up style and coupe glass. From the White Russian, it borrows the pairing of vodka, coffee liqueur and cream. The result is a cocktail that is lighter than a dessert drink yet richer than a classic martini, a favourite for those who love coffee with a softer, creamier edge. With MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted from premium Kenyan Arabica coffee, it gains an extra layer of chocolate, caramel and vibrant coffee flavour.
