Ingredient Information
What is Kahlua?
- Kahlúa (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈlu.a]) is a coffee liqueur from Veracruz, Mexico. This drink includes a blend of rum, sugar, and 100% arabica coffee.
- Kahlúa is considered one of the most popular liqueurs in the world and is used to make over 200 types of cocktails.
What is Vodka?
- Vodka is a type of alcohol originating from Poland and Russia, primarily consisting of water and ethanol but sometimes containing traces of impurities and flavorings.
- According to the traditional version, vodka is produced by distilling liquid from fermented grains or potatoes. However, some modern brands now use fruits or sugar for fermentation.
You can find these two types of alcohol at cocktail ingredient stores, liquor shops, or reputable e-commerce sites. When purchasing, be sure to check the packaging, bottle, cap, and expiration date to ensure quality!
What is Espresso coffee?
- Espresso is a coffee brewing method originating from Italy. The coffee is brewed using a machine, with hot water forced through finely ground coffee under high pressure. Espresso is also the base for many other coffee drinks such as caffe latte, cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, flat white, and Americano.
- You can easily find Espresso coffee at coffee brewing shops.
- You can also purchase roasted and ground Espresso coffee at reputable coffee bean stores or on e-commerce sites and brew drip coffee at home. When buying coffee grounds, you need to consider the packaging and expiration date to ensure the quality of the product inside.

What is Espresso Martini?
- Espresso Martini is a cold cocktail with a coffee flavor made from a mixture of vodka, espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup.
- The drink was created by Dick Bradsell in the late 1980s at the Freds club in London. In fact, this drink is not a true Martini because it does not contain gin or vermouth.
It’s simple and quick to mix yourself a glass of Espresso Martini rich in coffee flavor, with a little intoxication from the alcohol. Let’s join TasteVN in the kitchen to showcase our skills and taste our creation! Wishing you success!
