Dirty Espresso Martini

Why you are pouring this tonight

A double shot of espresso, a touch more vodka, half the sugar. The Dirty is what bartenders make for themselves after a shift. It’s drier than the standard and more assertively coffee-forward. Drink it late.

What changes from the Espresso Martini

Single shot becomes double. Kahlua reduced. Vodka bumped. Three beans still on top.

What to pour it alongside

After a big dinner. After chocolate. After midnight.
