If you’ve ever been to Cuba then you’ll know how good authentic mojito’s are, but there’s no reason why you can’t bring Cuba to you!

Espresso Martini – Recipe

If you’re looking for something a little more sophisticated to drink over the holidays then I whole heartedly recommend the Espresso Martini. It’s also a great drink to make if you’re having a party as you can make quite a batch of it.

What you need:

Equal measures of:

Vodka

Simply pour it all in to a jug, stir, add ice and serve.

It’s quite strong (as it’s mostly pure alcohol) and the coffee does give it a kick so be warned you can’t drink too many of these!
