I’ve made a lot of espresso martinis over the years… but this one hits different. Black Twist isn’t your average coffee liqueur—it’s cold brew blended with Irish whiskey, and that edge shows up in the glass. It’s rich, not too sweet, and just bold enough to keep you out later than you planned. Shake it cold, serve it up, and take your time. This one’s worth it.

Editor's Note

Irish whiskey-based liqueur adds a robust, malty depth to this classic coffee cocktail. A hard shake ensures the essential velvety foam.
