Of course I made an Espresso Martini Potion
My inspiration was the ‘fragrant ink’ (I definitely didn’t snort while laughing)
Ingredients:
- Shot of Vodka
- Shot of Coffee liqueur (I chose Tia Maria)
- Double shot of espresso (or just make a teenytiny very strong coffee)
- 1/3rd shot of Simple syrup/ sugar syrup/ vanilla syrup/ DIY syrup (sugar plus water plus vanilla essence?)
- ICE ICE BABY!
- Optional coffee bean garnish (ooh and chocolate!)
Am also going to throw in my ‘make it extra foamy’ recipe for anyone who has one of those tiny milk-frother whisks: - 1 tbsp ground coffee
- 1 tbsp granulated/caster sugar
- few drops of cold water (added gradually)
Edit: On taking my potion to my altar I decided to add some moon water to boost my intentions and at that point it occurred to me that had I planned in advance I could’ve used moon water icecubes!
Ok so add the vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, syrup and plenty of ice to a cocktail shaker (or clean glass jar) and shake it like a polaroid picture
until your hands get cold. Shake with intention!
- Vodka: Fire, Strength, Courage, Motivation, Stability, and Power.
- Coffee: Fire, Earth, Energy, Motivation, Boosts Spell Power, Happiness, Luck and Sex
- Vanilla: Water, Energy, Peace, Happiness, Luck, Love, Strength, Prosperity, Sex, Friendship and Creativity
If you’ve whisked up the foam ingredients and it’s come out super foamy it’ll be a fab topper, if it’s a little runny add it to your shaker - it’ll still add good things
When your hands and shaker are truly frozen


Garnish with coffee beans and enjoy!
Yay for cocktail potions!

Editedit: This potion goes gloriously with dark chocolate! Time for some chocolate magic! I performed a little ritual using a square of dark chilli chocolate inscribed with my intention, I melted it over my candle flame and painted the edge of the glass clockwise (to attract) with chocolate.
- Dark chocolate: Love, Romance, Grounding, Prosperity
- Chilli: Fire, Cleansing, Protecting, Repels Negativity and Speeds Up Spells
