Espresso Martini Recipe

The now-widespread availability of cold-brew coffee, easier to work with than hot coffee that needs to be cooled, has given the Espresso Martini a boost—even if it means kicking the espresso to the curb. At Retreat Gastropub in St. Louis, cold-brew supports a base of rum in their unorthodox tiki-style “Espresso Martini.”
