The perfect after dinner cocktail

You know the feeling: you're having an extensive after-dinner chat with friends, and you're faced with the choice of coffee or cocktail. For the ultimate indecisive among us, I have the solution today: the perfect after dinner cocktail with espresso. An espresso Martini, that is. Let's go back to the ‘80s, when the cocktail was first served by cocktail legend Dick Bradsell in his bar in Soho, London. Rumour has it that Kate Moss walked into the London bar and ordered a cocktail with the following words: ‘I want a drink that will wake me up and then fuck me up.’ The phrase has since become legendary, and the rest is history, shall we say.

What do you need for the ultimate Kate Moss experience? 25 milliliters of Tia Maria, 25 milliliters of vodka, and a single shot of espresso. Cheers.
