Espresso Martini.

Alcohol. In the form of a cocktail. It's like being Carrie from Sex and the City: "yes, my life might be spiralling out of my control, but at least I look classy when I get drunk". Or is that just what I think?

Look at the dark, mysterious nature of this bad boy. Mmmm. Plus not only do you get a kick from the vodka, you get the high of the super-strong coffee. 

NB. Not one to have right before bed.

Ingredients.

• 1 oz cold espresso
• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• 1 1/2 oz Kahlua coffee liqueur
• 1 oz white creme de cacao

Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, shake it like the TicTac's advert and strain into a chilled glass. Drink, enjoy, and don't blame me for your drunken antics.
