Greetings from Portland, where the coffee’s strong and the drinks are even stronger. Allow me to introduce you to the Cold Brew Martini—a cocktail that’s basically the espresso martini’s cooler cousin. Imagine blending the sophistication of a martini with the boldness of cold brew. It’s like having your cake and drinking it too, but way less messy. This drink is perfect if you’re looking to impress at your next soirée or just want to sip something fabulous on your porch while pretending the rain is a soothing soundtrack.
When do I enjoy this masterpiece? Oh, you know, during those moments when I feel like my day needs a bit of a jolt—both caffeinated and spirited. It’s a personal favorite for late-night gatherings or when I want to look effortlessly chic while sipping something that says, “I’m classy, but I also like coffee.” Plus, it’s a great excuse to show off my barista skills outside of the café.
