Espresso Martinis or Dirty Martinis? That's the question that is most pressing during a movie night at my house.
Although these cocktails have taken the internet by storm, I was a bartender for a few years. So, I learned a plethora of amazing cocktail recipes that are enjoyed around the world. And mixology can get scientific. For example, I loved messing around with the acidity levels of pineapple juice by adding some citric acid to freshly blended pineapple. Even buying different coffee beans from around the world can greatly impact an espresso martini.
But, if you're in the mood for something more interesting, unique and memorable, then I have some amazing options for you.
