Espresso Martini

Our updated version is made with cold brew for ease and contrary to what many believe a bigger kick of caffeine. Cold brew coffee has between 200-250 mg of caffeine, while a serving of espresso has about 65-70 mg.

We recommend chilling your glass. Buckle up sit in the front row and hold up both hands. After-all it’s the best way to enjoy the ride!
