After a few Mike’s Double Espresso Chocolate Martini Cocktails, your jokes will be funnier, and yes, you too can dance. This is the perfect cocktail to get the party started.
My son was home for Christmas, and being the dutiful son we raised him to be, he introduced us to his “Double Espresso Chocolate Martini”. Now he didn’t take the credit for inventing this recipe, but I searched high and low, (yes on Pinterest), and I didn’t see this concoction, so I am naming it Mike’s for obvious reasons.
Why is it that the drinks that taste the friendliest hit you the hardest? It’s just a little coffee and chocolate, right? Wrong. I would advise you to limit anyone to two of these beverages in the course of an evening. Otherwise, throw a pillow on the couch because they aren’t going anywhere.
How would I know this? I’ve permanently lost several hours after having a couple of these babies. I’m sure I was in a great mood but I am thankful that there isn’t any film surfacing documenting my missing hours.

Julie, This sounds so good! With the flavors of chocolate, amaretto, and coffee, it must be wonderful. This would be perfect for Valentine's Day, too. I'm thinking about making it for my husband, but we would have to drink it for breakfast because the coffee would keep us up at night. But then the liquors would put us to sleep in the morning. Hmmm. I think I'm over thinking this. Definitely making it for Valentine's day at some point!:)

I made the mistake of drinking it at 9 in the evening. I definitely felt the espresso! More suitable for an evening you want to stay up. :)

It guarantees an increase in the quality of life for at least 1 hour. Well maybe the 1st one does. The second one causes memory loss. :) Thanks Sarah!
