Frozen Espresso Martini

PUNCH | Brooklyn, NY

When a supermodel asked him to create a drink that would “wake her up, then fuck her up,” Dick Bradsell famously created the Espresso Martini. This frozen riff on the modern classic calls on a mixture of coconut cream and coconut milk to balance the intensity of Borghetti Espresso Liqueur and adds a final bracing kick by way of a Fernet-Branca float.
