Guinness Espresso Martini
This Guinness Espresso Martini is a rich, creamy twist on the classic espresso martini made with Guinness stout, vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur, maple syrup, and fresh espresso. Shaken until frothy, it delivers deep roasted coffee flavor with subtle chocolatey malt notes from the Guinness. It’s the perfect dessert cocktail for St. Patrick’s Day, holiday gatherings, or anytime you want a bold coffee cocktail with a smooth Irish-inspired finish.
