Espresso martini time 🍸

I don’t usually enjoy espresso martinis. They’re often too sweet. I love the cans of MOTH margarita. So I thought I’d try their take. It’s pretty good.

A can of MOTH Espresso Martini and a glass of the drink sit on a wooden surface. Next to them is a magazine titled County Cricket Matters with an image of a cricket field on the cover. Various kitchen items are visible in the background
