This Valentine's Day, why not try something a little more flirty and dare I say dirty, with this delicious espresso martini. With its smooth espresso base, subtle notes of chocolate and velvety finish, this cocktail will not only dazzle your special someone, it will give you a little caffeine to keep you up - when it counts.

Enjoy!
