The Only Drama I Want Tonight Is This Pistachio Espresso Martini 🍸

We all know the classic Espresso Martini is that girl—strong, smooth, and a little flirty. But tonight? I’m adding a nutty little twist that’s giving full pistachio princess energy.

Meet your new go-to after-dinner drink: the Pistachio Espresso Martini. She’s creamy, a little sassy, and just bougie enough to feel like you’re at a fancy rooftop bar… even if you’re in pajamas at home. Hey, we can even consider her dessert 😉

This version combines your fave coffee base (cold brew or espresso—your call), a splash of Baileyswhipped cream vodka, and the real MVP: pistachio coffee creamer. You can even get extra fancy with Pistachiocello if you’re feeling that vibe. Dessert and caffeine in one? Say less.


☕ Pistachio Espresso Martini Ingredients:

  • 2 oz cold brew or brewed espresso (chilled)
  • 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 oz pistachio coffee creamer (I use International Delight)
  • 1 oz whipped cream vodka (vanilla vodka works too)
  • Optional: ½ oz Pistachiocello for extra pistachio power
  • Ice for shaking
  • Crushed pistachios and espresso beans for garnish (optional but cute)

🥂 Directions:

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add cold brew or espresso, Baileys, pistachio creamer, whipped cream vodka, and Pistachiocello (if using).
  3. Shake it like you mean it—about 15–20 seconds until nice and frothy.
  4. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
  5. Garnish with crushed pistachios, espresso beans, or a dusting of cocoa powder if you’re feeling extra.

Sip and savor. She’s smooth, sweet, and a little caffeinated—just like you.

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Want it less sweet? Use a pistachio syrup instead of creamer and dial back the Baileys.
  • Hosting? Make a batch ahead of time and shake with ice before serving!
  • Make it extra indulgent by rimming the glass in melted chocolate and crushed pistachios. Yes. That.
