Espresso Martini

Created by the legendary Dick Bradsell, the story goes that a supermodel walked into the Atlantic Bar where he was working and said, “Give me a drink that’s going wake me up, then f*ck me up”.

The espresso (made fresh is best) is bringing the coffee to this cocktail, so don’t feel constricted to coffee liqueur, and experiment using alternative sweet ingredients like sugar syrup, amaretto, Frangelico, cherry heering, Chambord, or even PX sherry to add your own personal twist.
