Gingerbread Espresso Martini

Gingerbread Espresso Martini

3 min

A nuanced, winter-ready take on the espresso martini, this version layers Atomic Black coffee liqueur with vodka, ginger liqueur, and fresh espresso. The result is a cocktail that's bold and warming, with just the right amount of spice. It leans into the aromatics of gingerbread without becoming overly sweet — think spice-forward rather than sugar cookie.

Perfect for colder nights and cocktail menus looking for depth, this gingerbread espresso martini is a standout among gingerbread drinks, bringing a little heat to the familiar balance of coffee and booze.
