August 8-Espresso Martini

Want to get screwed up? Want to wake up? I have the cocktail for you. The Espresso Martini was created by Dick Bradsell around 1983 and is by far his most overrated cocktail. Now when I say itis overrated this sin’t me saying it’s a bad drink, it’s pleasing enough and I doubt it would have blown up as much as it did without any merits to it name. I just mean this cocktail is not deserving of being hailed as the next coming of cocktail jesus.

When I say this cocktail is not all that I mean there is nothing about it to make you think. Personally, I like cocktails taht make me wonder at the flavour with complex flavour pairings that I don’t see too much of, stuff like pineapple and ginger together. This cocktail is just an alcoholic cup of coffee. If I wanted that I would pair coffee with somehting, it would be bourbon. That is even a crust I use for steak. Vodka doesn’t add any flavour.
