This low alc./vol. riff on Dick Bradsell's Espresso Martini may lack the oomph of a base spirit but generous amaro does add pleasing herbal bittersweetness.

This is a great variation on the traditional recipe. A touch of bitterness from the Averna that makes it more complicated and damn enjoyable.

Amazingly chocolate-y with no chocolate ingredients. Highly recommended!
