Tails has pre-batched a near-perfect espresso martini — just add to a shaker for the obligatory frothy top. The purity brings out herbaceous and citrusy notes which lends itself beautifully to vodka tonics, vodka lime sodas, and our cocktails. Next time we’re in the mood, we’ll be reaching for Portland, Oregon-based Straightaway Cocktails’ Nitro Espresso Martini, which packs just the right amount of sweetness and cola flavor.

The cocktail’s name may have changed throughout history (the 'Pharmaceutical Stimulant' is our personal favourite), but the iconic combination of vodka and coffee has remained. Give it a shake (using your best bartender moves) for about 10 seconds, and then pour it into a glass (for the Espresso Martini Cocktail we recommend a Martini glass, but go with what you’ve got).BROOD’s nitro cold brew machines are the epitome of beverage craftsmanship, honing the ability to flawlessly pump out cups of cool, nitrogen-infused espresso without an added tank. With this inspiration, Bradsell mixed vodka, coffee liqueur, espresso, and a touch of sugar syrup, creating the now-iconic Espresso Martini. p>
