About
This cocktail was created by Justin Campbell at Mason in Santa Monica, California. Built in the style of an Espresso Martini, it draws on Mexican flavors and spices for depth. Tequila forms the base, with Averna and cold brew adding bitterness and richness, while mole bitters reinforce the spiced chocolate notes. Egg white gives it a soft, velvety texture that goes beyond your typical Espresso Martini.Cheers y’all!
