espresso martini

Vodka meets coffee

An espresso martini is a cocktail combining vodka, coffee liqueur, and freshly brewed espresso, typically served in a martini glass with coffee beans floating on top.

Despite the name, it contains no vermouth or gin—the "martini" refers only to the glass and the drink's positioning as sophisticated.
