To your shot of espresso, add the sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder. Make sure you stir until everything dissolves into a sauce.

Afterward, combine your syrup, ice, vodka, espresso, and liqueur together into a shaker with ice. Make sure to continuously shake this until your cocktail shaker begins to feel icy. Don’t shake for too long or the ice will begin to water down your espresso martini. Get your martini glass out of the fridge and pour your cocktail into it. Feel free to garnish your martini with coffee beans or even a small dollop of cream.
