A Better Cocktail

The Espresso Martini is a variant of a classic vodka drink with a strong emphasis on caffeine. As the cocktail contains a shot of espresso, this also adds caffeine content to the drink which is sure to liven you up. The drink also features Kahlúa, a blend of coffee liqueur and rum. The Espresso Martini is served in a cocktail glass and presented with a garnish of coffee beans on top. For the espresso, we recommend taking a look at our friends over at Pact coffee who will be sure to sort you out—save £3 on your first bag too!
