Almond Coconut Espresso Martini

Coffee lovers rejoice. This one is smooth with just the right amount of pick me up! Let’s talk liqueurs: Almond liqueurs such as Disarano or Amaretto are perfect accompaniments to a coffee liqueur such as Khalua. Together, they provide a sweetener. Espresso martinis can be a little time consuming, but they are worth the effort. The coconut milk adds just a bit of creaminess, and boosts up the foam factor which is critical to hold your garnish.
