Hazelnut Espresso Martini Is The Perfect Friday Pick Me Up
Friday is here and it’s time to celebrate the end of the working week with your fellow hard-working colleagues. So gather together the troops, order in a pizza, get out the cocktail shaker and serve up this tasty spin on everyone’s favourite Espresso Martini.
There have been several stories to the origin of the Espresso Martini, the most popular one being that it was invented by infamous London bartender Dick Bradsell in the late 80s. While not a true martini, as it doesn’t use gin or vermouth, the espresso martini is definitely one to add to your regular rotation – and especially convenient when you have the office coffee machine on hand. This one ups the ante by adding the tasty hazelnut flavours of Frangelico, while still including freshly brewed espresso – helpful for those who are more than ready for the weekend to begin.
