The Broadway Espresso Martini
Vodka, cold brew espresso, coffee liqueur & vanilla with a cocoa rim
A standing ovation in a glass
The Story
The Espresso Martini has become New York's unofficial nightcap — the drink that says 'I want to stay out but I also want to sleep eventually.' Born in London but perfected in Manhattan's cocktail bars, it captures the city's relentless energy. This version uses cold brew from the kind of Brooklyn roasters that fuel the theatre district, finished with a cocoa rim for a final curtain that deserves a standing ovation.
