Ninja Slushi Espresso Martini
A frozen espresso martini made with espresso or cold brew coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur or Irish cream, and water, processed on the Slush setting. Bold and coffee-forward with a bittersweet depth from the liqueur and a smooth, icy texture. Alcoholic - contains vodka and coffee liqueur.
Instructions
- 1
Brew espresso or prepare cold brew; cool or chill completely before using.
- 2
Combine chilled coffee, vodka, coffee liqueur, and water in a pitcher and stir.
- 3
Pour the mixture into the vessel, keeping the total between the MIN and MAX fill lines.
- 4
Select the Slush setting and allow the machine to process - approximately 15–45 minutes.
- 5
Dispense into a martini glass and garnish with coffee beans or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
- 6
Tip: If the result tastes too bitter, stir in simple syrup before the next batch - sweetness cannot be adjusted mid-cycle.
Pro tips
- ▸Stick to ~1-1.5 oz alcohol per serving - alcohol does not freeze, so the water is essential for the machine to process slush properly.
- ▸Use pre-chilled ingredients to speed freezing and don't overfill beyond the 64oz fill line.
- ▸Hot espresso will melt ice; cool it first.

“Thank you for a great recipe. Just got our slushy maker and this is the first recipe we tried. Came out a little bitter for our liking. We mixed in some simple syrup and that perfected it for our tastes.”
