Darker than the original espresso martini, but also a little sweeter. Gives off espresso candy vibes, which is not a bad thing. This vs traditional would just varying in my mood.

Why is this an aperitif? Cocktails with coffee are not considered digestifs?

Espresso Martinis and other coffee cocktails are often enjoyed as a kick-start to the evening. I've also marked it as an after-dinner/digestif.

One of the best espresso martinis you can make, make sure you good espresso (or moka pot coffee) for this.

Love Espresso Martinis (Espressi Martini?), and this is one of the all time greatest variants.

I love espresso martinis with brandy! I do without vodka though, just brandy, kahlua, espresso. Perfect!

Very good, this. I like an espresso martini, but the brandy gives this drink an extra layer of flavour.

What a surprise. At first notes of fruit and spice from the froth and first sips, layered on a sweet and boozy coffee.
Made with Renault VSOP. Coffee beans from Colombia.
