THE ESPRESSO MARTINI Where Energy Meets Elegance
T
The espresso martini is having its moment, and for good reason. This sophisticated cocktail has transcended its 1980s origins to become the drink of choice for those who want to extend their evening without sacrificing style. From upscale lounges to intimate dinner parties, the espresso martini bridges the gap between afternoon energy and evening elegance. This irresistible cocktail is the perfect balance of rich espresso, smooth vodka,
and coffee liqueur, topped with a velvety foam that’s as photogenic as it is delicious. The drink delivers a gentle caffeine boost while maintaining the refined character of a classic cocktail, making it ideal for transi- tioning from dinner to a night out. The beauty of the espresso martini lies in its versatility. Bartenders are elevating the classic recipe with premium ingredients like single-origin espresso, artisanal coffee liqueurs, and creative garnishes of coffee
beans or chocolate shavings. Some add a touch of vanilla or hazelnut, while others experiment with cold brew concentrations for deeper flavor profiles. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion at Calabasas Commons or hosting an elegant gathering at home, the espresso martini adds a touch of modern sophistication. Pair it with statement jewelry for an evening that’s unforgettable from every angle.
