If you’ve tried it, you’ll know that the Espresso Martini is the greatest invention known to man. The mixture of vodka, coffee and Kahlua works surprisingly well.
The caffeine boosts the spirits while the alcohol pleasantly loosens them. But for your martini to be a success, you’ll need fresh, good espresso coffee – which is where we come in!
