Non Alcoholic Espresso Martini FAQ’s

Can I add alcohol to this drink?

Yes! If you want this to be a true ‘espresso martini‘ (grab my full recipe here!) you will swap out the heavy whipping cream, and add kahlua and vodka.

Can I use coffee instead of espresso?

Technically it wouldn’t be a true espresso martini, but that can be our little secret. Brewing 2 oz of very strong coffee should also do the trick. However, you might not get as much luxurious foam on top as espresso would give.

Can I use a dairy free alternative to heavy cream?

If you’re a dairy free kind of gal, I’d swap in this Califia Farms Almond Barista Blend. I haven’t actually tried this in this non alcoholic espresso martini recipe but I use it in my morning coffee all the time and its so creamy!
