Espresso Martini

I’m new to coffee and espresso. I’ve always disliked it but something has finally clicked with me in the last year and now I own an espresso machine and crave that first cup of brewed coffee in the morning.
It’s only fitting that now I attempt my first espresso martini.. considering that a lemon drop martini is hands-down my favorite drink… until now.
I made this recipe and it was my first time sipping one and it’s SO good. I’ve since tried one out at dinner and though it was fantastic, this recipe really does stand up to it. I’ve made it a few times since!
