Black Friday Maple Espresso Martini
Black Friday is a loose theme for a cocktail, so this maple espresso martini is designed for an evening get-together after the shopping, rather than a drink to take along. It is a darker, autumn-flavored twist on the classic espresso martini.

Something wrong or not matching?
Coffee liqueurs differ in sweetness; taste a small sample before adding more maple syrup. For a lower-caffeine evening drink, use decaf espresso. Shake each serving just before pouring for the freshest foam. Keep the prepared espresso refrigerated if making several drinks, and avoid leaving dairy-based additions out at room temperature.
