Now that the holiday season has arrived, there is no doubt you will be hosting your share of dinner parties and festive get-togethers. One important part of every Hostesses’ menu are the drinks.

If you are like me, you love coffee…. anytime of the day. Why not wake up your party and serve one of these coffee inspired cocktails during your next party? Here are two great coffee martini recipes:

Mochatini:

A dream for sweet lovers. This sugary infusion of chocolate, vanilla, and

coffee is sure to please any cocktail connoisseur.

1 shot Starbuck’s Dark Liqueur
2 shots Starbuck’s Light Liqueur
1 shot Vanilla Vodka (I use Absolute Vanilla Vodka)
5 Ice cubes

Rim a martini glass with white chocolate and sugar (Make it stick using egg whites on rims). Next, shake all ingredients with ice and then strain into the martini glass

Espresso Martini

1 oz. espresso
1-1/2 oz. vanilla vodka
1-1/2 oz. Kahlúa
1 oz. crème de cacao

Fill a shaker with ice and combine 1-1/2 oz. vanilla vodka, 1-1/2 oz. Kahlúa, 1 oz. crème de cacao and a shot of espresso. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass.

After dinner just ask “coffee anyone?” Guests will be pleasantly surprised with this simple {yet fabulous} treat!
