Another wimpy name, but nothing creative came to me!
I wanted a coffee cocktail. I poured through the many bar books I have in the kitchen and wasn't pleased with any recipes containing actual coffee. So I adapted and made my own. This is really nice, and surprisingly not too sweet. However I do think the addition of a tiny splash of chocolate (probably a chocolate liqueur) would have been ideal. Honestly coffee and chocolate are the most amazing pair - they bring out complexities in each other that are astounding.
Hazelnut Latte Martini
1 1/2 oz. Vodka
1/2 oz. Kahlua
1/2 oz. Frangelico
1 oz. brewed coffee (mine is from a coffee press, so a little strong)
Splash half-n-half (or cream, milk, etc.)
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Pour into a martini glass. Garnish with a couple of espresso beans - chocolate covered if you're feeling fancy!
