Thanks to 90’s nostalgia, the iconic Espresso Martini made a strong resurgence in 2022 and quickly became one of the top-ordered cocktails of the year among coffee and cocktails lovers alike.
Innovated variations of this classic martini include swapping the vodka for tequila or adding chocolate bitters and flavored liqueurs while always staying true to the roots of the libation – keeping that robust coffee taste that makes it so easy to sip on any time of the day.
Here are some recipes from some of the best coffee-spiked martinis around South Florida to drink and toast to – quite literally – on National Espresso Martini Day.
