DITCH THE ESPRESSO MARTINI
Full disclosure here, I don’t actually drink coffee. i actually have a caffeine allergy so I don’t have anything with caffeine in it, BUT! I know people love a Espresso Martini and lets be honest, that can get a little boring, so here are three coffee forward cocktails that I think you will love next time you are at the bar, having people over for drinks, or just need a little pick-me-up!
