Review:
You've almost certainly enjoyed the modern classic that is the Espresso Martini but switch the base spirit from vodka to aged grappa and you've an even more delightful drink. Grappa has a more intense flavour that does more than fortify, it stands up to espresso coffee's robust flavours to emerge triumphant in the finished cocktail.
