Espresso Martini
Living in the Northwest, we have many simple pleasures we take for granted: Clean air, green landscape, and of course, coffee. Oh how we LOVE our coffee. I think that our daily caffeine high takes our mind off of the rain. Anyways, what better way to get your fix than an intense caffeine dose with booze added to it.
