Now that we’re in the thick of the holiday season, we have a proposition: It’s time for espresso martinis to transition from their role as the ideal late-night summer pick-me-up to the perfect post-feast digestif. Thanksgiving is next week, after all, which means you could be days away from a big family gathering, a small Friendsgiving, or an annual re-watch of the entire The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In every one of those situations, espresso ‘tinis are poised to be the bridge between you and your next post-nap serving of pumpkin pie.
We’re not alone in these espresso martini aspirations. Consider the French Cognac brand Grand Brulot, for example.

You don’t even need to be a skilled, self-proclaimed mixologist to whip up a bangin’ espresso martini. Just cop a bottle of espresso Cognac, vanilla syrup, some statement martini glasses, and follow the brand’s personal recipe:
- 2 oz Grand Brulot
- 1 oz Espresso
- ½ oz of Amaretto or Vanilla Syrup
- Directions: Using a shaker, combine Grand Brulot, coffee and liqueur or vanilla syrup together. Shake (25 times) vigorously with ice and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a few cracked coffee beans and an orange twist.
