Скачать или смотреть Making an Espresso Martini PROPERLY (and then improving it) | In The Drink

Possibly the coldest open on this channel yet.

A true modern classic, one of very few cocktails that, upon hearing the name, sets my hairs on edge. Continuing my tirade against all things vodka, I figured once and for all I'd like to demonstrate that it's really not hard to get this drink right, in fact if you know even the basics of bartending, it's hard to mess up. And yet, more often than not, is presented in many bars as a dissappointing, lukewarm, and watery mess.

Also? It's just a bit bland...sorry. It's not that hard to do better, so I thought I'd take the time and demonstrate that, no matter what way you choose to go, there's always an easy way to innovate upon what is otherwise a blank canvas of a cocktail.
