This Espresso Martini Makes Everything Better
The Espresso Martini trend of 2022 shows no signs of slowing down in the new year. Now, bartenders are finding ways to add complexity to this easy-to-drink cocktail. At Sweet Liberty in Miami Beach, creative director Naren Young layers in vodka, Scotch, coffee liqueur, and the honey-forward Drambuie to create a cocktail that balances sweetness and richness.
Then, to finish, he sprinkles cayenne over half the frothy drink to throw in a bit of spice. It's a heady cocktail that takes the standard espresso martini for a more flavorful spin. Try it next time in you're Miami Beach with a visit to Sweet Liberty or shake up your own at home.
