When I first saw this shot’s name, I figured it was called the Expresso Martini Shot as a dig at all the idiots who claim espresso martinis are their favorite drink and yet don’t know that the word is, in fact, “espresso” — no “x”. But the brilliant bartenders at Lakeside Lounge actually named it that because there’s no espresso in it (and there doesn’t need to be). They top a shaken mix of coconut rum and Mr Black coffee liqueur with heavy cream, creating a rich, frothy, dreamy, delicious dessert and shot in one. (If only one were enough.)
Best Shot
