"Perfect for brunch, a nightcap, and really any time of day in Boston, the espresso martini has many thirsty fans in the Bay State. It's on almost any bar menu, no matter the concept. Some bars keep it simple, serving up an espresso martini with just a coffee liqueur. Other bartenders put their own spin on it, adding notes of coconut or burnt sugar to caffeinated cocktail."
"The availability of the espresso martini, whose origins date to the 1980s, is largely due to its national rise and renaissance that kicked off a few years ago. In fact, we asked readers in 2021 for their favorite espresso martini spots, and we received more than 600 responses. But even when the espresso martini loses its cool everywhere else, we have a feeling Bostonians will have a hard time quitting this love affair."
