A 2020s menu drink rather than a historic one, and one of the few Espresso Martini spin-offs that improves on the idea. Cool the espresso before it goes in the shaker or the ice melts too fast and the drink comes out thin.

Siesta
Blanco Tequila

Siesta

Bitter grapefruit pith and Campari's rhubarb-orange over bright vegetal tequila, lime sharpening everything, finishing dry and long.

Strawberry Margarita
Blanco Tequila

Strawberry Margarita

Bright and luscious, this margarita bursts with sweet, jammy strawberry notes balanced by tart citrus and the earthy, agave-forward punch of tequila. The salted rim enhances the fruit's natural sweetness while triple sec adds orange warmth, creating a refreshing yet indulgent finish that's smooth, vibrant, and unmistakably summery.

Millionaire
Aged Jamaican Rum

Millionaire

Stone fruit and dark berry over funky Jamaican rum, with lime cutting a clean line through the middle so the whole thing lands tart rather than jammy.

Blue Margarita
Tequila Blanco

Blue Margarita

Bright and citrus-forward with a zingy lime backbone, warm agave earthiness from the tequila, and a sweet orange lift from the blue curaçao - the salted rim sharpens every sip into a refreshing, sweet-tart finish.
