As the cover star ofBritish VogueJanuary 2024, actor Emma Watson sharedfive of her favorite cocktailsto highlight inVogue’s “Ultimate British Taste Test” video series. The first cocktail she shared is anEatingWellfavorite: the timeless espresso martini. And Watson’s version—which she fittingly calls Emma’s Espresso Martini—adds a sweet twist to the classic cocktail: chocolate.
“I like sweet things, and I’m going to put a tiny bit of salt in there as well,” Watson says in the video. The salty-candied combo is rather simple to shake up. Here’s how to make it at home.

She then pours 1 ounce of espresso, 1 ounce of simple syrup and 1.5 ounces of vodka into her cocktail shaker. This is where Watson adds her special touch—about 1 ounce of cocoa liqueur and a pinch of salt—into the shaker before scooping in her ice and sealing it.
“Shaking, it comes from the heart, everyone,” Watson says before shaking up her martini. “It’s a full body movement.”
Once ready, Watson removes the ice that was chilling the glass before pouring in her strained chocolate espresso martini. She garnishes the cocktail with three coffee beans on top.
“One is for health, one is for wealth and one is for happiness,” Watson exclaims, placing each bean on the surface of the drink. That’s all it takes, and it’s ready to serve or enjoy.
This easy cocktail took less than 10 minutes, uses just five ingredients and has a stunning appearance for a classy night in. It’s a chocolaty version of our ownEspresso Martinirecipe—just replace the coffee liqueur with cocoa liqueur.
