Three things come together to make this Espresso Martini taste GREAT. The right coffee, the right spirit and the right proportions. We cold brew locally roasted Arabica beans that boast an earthy and fruity aroma for 16 hours. Hints of vanilla, cherry and citrus with the coffee makes a complex and creamy martini, best served cold or on the rocks.
