My husband is a spirits specialist and is always coming up with his own cocktails, many of which are twists on classics. This is similar to an espresso martini, but in my opinion, so much better! For an after dinner drink, or just an indulgent treat, this Mochatini is perfect. Serve it with shaved chocolate on top as a garnish, and you will not be disappointed. Cheers!
