Espresso Martini – A Copalli Twist 

What’s old is new again and this has never been more true than with the return of the Espresso Martini. The origin of the espresso martini is attributed to a London bartender, in the 1980s who was asked to serve a now famous model “a drink that will wake me up and then mess me up” (language softened for all audiences).

There are a number of recipes which are nice, but when choosing an Espresso Martini that is worthy of a lengthy sip, we turned to noted mixologist Julie Reiner who believes our newly released Copalli Cacao is the key to an exceptional cocktail. Her recipe is below.

1 ½ oz Copalli Cacao

½ oz St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur
