About
I built this espresso martini after tasting something similar at a bar and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t have the specs, but I knew I wanted aged tequila as the base and Averna to add depth. Tequila and Cointreau are already a classic pair, and orange with coffee is a natural match. Expressing an orange peel over the top seals the deal, so the first thing you catch is that bright citrus aroma.Cheers y’all!
