Notes

I like the Monin Coconut Syrup for this Coconut Espresso Martini
Make sure that you are using a cold brew CONCENTRATE not a pre-diluted coffee for this recipe.
Choose a coffee concentrate that is not already sweetened since the coconut syrup adds the sweetness to this coconut espresso martini
