Espresso Martini

As a shameless coffee addict, this is hands down one of my favourite cocktails.

I order it when I need a pick-me-up at social gatherings.

I order it at nice restaurants to have alongside dessert or in lieu of dessert.

to be sensible about my caffein intake so I usually limit myself to two at most!
