Blessings, family! Jamaican rum cream and strong Blue Mountain coffee make this the Rum Cream Espresso Martini I keep coming back to. If you grew up in a Jamaican home, you know rum cream shows up when it is time to celebrate. Now it is in a shaker with coffee, and it works.

It is smooth, a little sweet, and full of coffee flavor with a velvety foam on top. It takes five minutes and makes two glasses, so it is perfect for date night or for sharing with someone you love. Full recipe card is at the bottom of this post.

Why You’ll Love This Rum Cream Espresso Martini

Jamaican flavor in every sip. Rum cream gives it a creamy, rum-kissed richness you will not get from a regular espresso martini.
Blue Mountain coffee. Jamaica’s famous coffee is smooth and bold with very little bitterness.
Just a few ingredients. Rum cream, vodka, coffee, coffee liqueur, and ice, with a simple garnish.
Fast. Brew your coffee ahead and the rest is shaking and pouring.

How to Make It (Overview)

Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely. Chill your glasses, then add the rum cream, vodka, coffee, and Kamora to a shaker with ice. Shake hard for about 20 seconds, strain into two glasses, and float three coffee beans on top of each. The full steps are in the recipe card below.

Tips for the Best Espresso Martini

Cool the coffee fully. Brew it in advance or the night before and keep it in the fridge.
Shake longer than you think. A hard, cold shake gives you that creamy foam.
Adjust the sweetness. Add a little more Kamora if you like it sweeter, or a little more coffee for a bolder taste.
Make it for a crowd. Double or triple the recipe and shake in batches.
No shaker? A mason jar with a tight lid works fine.

Serving Ideas

Serve it after dinner with something sweet. It pairs well with rum cake, sweet potato pudding, or gizzada. It is also a great way to end a Sunday meal with family.

Storage

This is best made fresh. You can mix the coffee, rum cream, vodka, and Kamora ahead and keep it in the fridge for a day. Add the ice and shake just before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular coffee instead of Blue Mountain?

Yes. Any strong brewed coffee or espresso works, but Blue Mountain gives it that smooth Jamaican flavor.

What can I use instead of Kamora?

Another coffee liqueur will do the job. Kamora is my pick.

Is this very strong?

It has vodka and rum cream, so sip slowly and enjoy responsibly.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.”
John 15:4 NKJV

A Word of Wisdom

Jesus Christ is all we need in this life. As He said, He is the tree and we are the branches. If a branch is broken off the tree, it no longer lives but starts to die and dry out. An what do we do with dead branches? We burn them for fire. This is what will happen to anyone that is not attached to Jesus. The end of that persons fate is hell fire. But if we abide in Him, or stay attached to Jesus, we will have eternal life. He lives forever, He has already been immortalized, and He promises this to us believers.

So how do we abide in Him? By keeping His words in us. He is the Word of God that became flesh. All the words that He spoke come from our Father in heaven Yah. Jesus is Yah in the flesh. God is a Spirit. So in order for us to know Him, He came as a human being through Jesus, and called Him His only Son. Jesus is in Yah and Yah is in Him. All His words bring life. For man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of Yah.

Every single word that Jesus spoke came from Yah. If we abide in what Jesus told us, we shall never die, but we will all live. Love Him and keep His commandments. Keep His sayings. Hold on to His words of life. His parables, everything we read in the gospels, keep them in your memory, to the point where you start to speak just like Him. An as He said, out of your belly shall flow living waters. Why? Because the words you will start to speak will be His words of life, for us to share to others as well.

Abide in Jesus, He will manifest Himself to you and bless you with the Holy Spirit, that seals us with His promises and gives us the power to overcome death unto eternal life.
