Espresso Martini Recipe ...Called Midnight Espresso
Restaurant Drink Recipe
This restaurant drink recipe for an espresso martini was given to me years
ago by a long time restaurant guest.
He wrote the recipe on seven index cards, one for each of my bartenders
and one for the lounge recipe file.
He said this was exactly the way he liked the espresso and vodka drink
and wanted everyone to make it exactly the same way regardless of who
was working.
He even had a suggested price on the index cards, which was 25 cents
more than what I had to charge to make the percentage.
He always ordered this espresso-martini drink whenever he came in and soon had five or six
other regular guests ordering it. They still do so today. Thanks, Howard!
