Cold Brew Coffee Martini Recipe

If you’re drained from the daily grind, a caffeinated cocktail should do the trick! This martini blends bold Arabica cold brew coffee with sweet orange liqueur, a splash of cream, and a shot of vodka. If you’re short on time, make the maple-infused simple syrup a day ahead, then all you’ll have to do is shake and serve.
