• ½ oz. / 15 ml. orgeat

• 2 dashes mole bitters

ABOUT
I will always say yes to an espresso martini. This mezcal espresso martini was created in 2019 by AC Baker at Bar Bohemian (Culver City, CA). The orgeat (almond syrup) and mole bitters add depth and spice to this classic cocktail. Mezcal is a suitable base to complement these flavors. Cheers y’all!
