Reviews
I’ve made this martini a couple of times for cocktail parties, and this drink is fabulous! You can taste everything; the orange, the espresso, the chocolate… Oh so good. I sometimes add just a splash of either Grand Marnier or triple sec to enhance the orange flavor. I also dip the martini glass in orange juice before I dip it in the shaved chocolate/sugar mixture so you can taste the chocolate and the orange as soon as it hits your lips. My friends and I LOVE THIS MARTINI!!! Thanks FN!!
Really really good! FOr the vodka I used a flavor voli has that is called Orange Vanilla Fusion and compliments all the flavors in this cocktail wonderfully! I recommended this to all my co-workers! (we are obsessed with trying new martinis!
From WikiPedia:
Espresso is a concentrated beverage brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee.
Expresso is a common misspelling of the word espresso.
Delish!!!
One ounce chilled what? I think it should be chilled expresso! I tried it with expresso and the drink was very good.
