Yes, this is a fine Espresso Martini... I used 7.5 ml Braulio. I would go 10 ml (at least) Branca Menta or why bother... I also used almost 1 tsp of fresh thyme (I have a small shrub growing in my garden) and I could barely taste it... Catchy name and intriguing ingredients, but please do go to the extreme when tweaking the specs here... Rant aside, this is a fine recipe, just not pushed to its most enthralling. I'll report back with changes.

Wow! The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts here. Had some leftover fresh thyme from our Christmas turkey, so thought I'd give it a Whirl. I was very pleasantly surprised how much I liked this drink. Out of necessity substituted agave syrup for sugar syrup but I think it may have been a happy accident as this was a wonderfully sweet and savory aromatic drink.
