I thought in honor of our fair city, Melbourne ...we should celebrate it with a Melbourne Martini and what could be more Melbourne than a good coffee? Here is our version of an Espresso Martini.

Melbourne Martini

martini glass

1 1/2 Cups cracked ice

1 1/2 ounces chilled coffee vodka

1 ounce strong espresso

1/2 ounce Kahlua

1/2 ounce white creme de cacoa

sugar (to rim the glasses)

1. Sugar the rim of a martini glass and chill the glass

2. Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice and the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously to blend and chill.

3. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and serve.
