Notes
Katie's Tips:
*I use Starbucks espresso roast whole beans and make an espresso shot using my Breville.
*Mr. Black makes a great coffee liquor if you are looking for a good brand.
*The Bailey's and Creme de Cacao add creaminess and a very subtle chocolate flavor. These create a nice depth flavor to the martini.
*To chill your martini glasses, place them in the freezer for thirty minutes.
