Espresso Martini, Tiramisu |
Ta-dah! Espresso martinis! When I made the tiramisu, I remembered just how much I love the combination of rich coffee and alcohol, so I thought... why not whip up some espresso martinis to go with? We had all the ingredients anyway, and I don't really need an excuse for caffeinated alcoholic deliciousness. Here's the recipe - super easy! Enjoy.

Serves 1
And while we're here, I thought I might take the opportunity to trawl through my backlog of photos and share some photos of espresso martinis I've had over the past couple of years. I like having them if I'm going out on a Friday night after work for a little pick-me-up. Yay!
