White Chocolate Espresso Martini

The White Chocolate Espresso Martini is a vodka based martini, hence it could also be termed as a vodkatini or a kangaroo cocktail. As with all cocktails, it is super easy to make. All you have to do is to make sure that you are uber cool and have all the ingredients on hand.

As much as it may surprise you, I am not the official cocktail maker in the family. Food and wine is as far as I go and then for the occasions when the menu and mood need something rather creative with alcohol, it is Mr Spice that steps in and steps up the game. The man loves creating cocktails and I often joke that he was probably a mixologist in his earlier life.

So here is his White chocolate espresso martini. Delicious, creamy and a drink you want to add to your party cocktail repertoire. But first chill the glass –
