Espresso Martini

To be honest, I am not a big martini drinker, but after a trip we took to Punta Cana a few years ago, I fell in love with this drink! I was so excited to give it a try at home, and it turned out to be AMAZING. No judgments if you drink this for breakfast, lunch or dinner 😉 Regardless, if you don’t think you like martinis but you are a coffee/espresso lover, you have to give this a try!
