Maybe we’re a little late to the espresso martini game seeing as summer 2021 was dubbed the year that espresso martinis made their all-too-familiar comeback. But, we’re here to say that ‘better late than never’ never tasted so good.
We’re jazzed to share this practically perfect espresso martini recipe courtesy of Jon Howard, who was the Bar Director at The Continental by Sean Brock. While this restaurant is no longer around, this drink recipe still lives on for you to recreate at home.
