ABOUT
I have said this a bunch, but nothing makes an espresso martini better than swapping out vodka for a different spirit. I cannot pinpoint who created this variation, but the El Jefe (“The Boss”) is a must try. The specs follow a typical espresso martini and agave makes sense as the sweetener. Cheers y’all!
