Espresso martinis are back and they are a lovely way to use this homemade espresso-vanilla infused liqueur. It also makes a great holiday gift for those who like to imbibe an occasional fancy cocktail at home.
Directions
-
Combine espresso, cinnamon sticks, and vodka in a large nonreactive jar; cover and let stand at room temperature 1 to 2 days. Strain through a cheese-cloth-lined sieve, then through a coffee-filter-lined sieve. Stir in simple syrup to taste, starting with 11/2 cups and adding more if needed, then vanilla. Divide mixture among clean jars. Refrigerate up to 3 months.
