Caffeine and alcohol are no strangers (just think of all the painful young types slowing down bar lines the world over as they depth-charge Jägermeister into highballs of Red Bull…), but bringing together espresso coffee and vodka is certainly new to us.

The team at Single Serve Espresso (don’t let anyone ever tell you that they’re always in a rush) have experimented around by taking some of their favorite grounds (well, concentrates) to the cocktail bar for a (long?) night of java-infused martinis, and the like.

Quick Espresso Martini
1 1/2 Ounces of Stomping Grounds Espresso Concentrate
1 1/2 Ounces Vodka
Top off with a floating espresso bean

Sleep is for the dead. When it gets to 4.30am and you’re hitting a wall in your strict partying regime, a round of these should do the trick. It’s like Gatorade for alcoholic caffeine addicts.
