When it comes to holiday cocktails, it doesn’t get more festive than a classic espresso martini, especially for those that can’t decide which one they love more, coffee or booze? It’s a tough one, but we’ve got you covered.
This featured cocktail incorporates local espresso from a BSF favorite, Pooch & Bean coffee roasters. We also replaced regular simple syrup with Irish Rum syrup (which you can find at BSF) for a little extra depth, which means you can technically skip the coffee liqueur if you find yourself without it.
