This Espresso Martini is just one of many coffee-like Martini recipes being made today. I like this one because it actually uses chilled espresso that gives that caffeinated kick you just can't duplicate with coffee liqueurs. This is a fantastic before or after dinner drink, happy hour cocktail, or, really, anytime you desire a great coffee flavored cocktail.
