Espresso Vodka Martini
As far as martinis and coffee are concerned, they have always been popular amongst people for decades. In recent years people have always been favoring the texture and flavor of different coffee beans that make great additions to martinis and especially vodka martinis. New versions of cocktails have some of the most interesting names and blends that are served to people with unique tastes. Not all people may have the espresso maker, and in such a case, double strength coffee which is brewed freshly can be used to make this martini. Vanilla flavored vodka or for that matter even plain vodka will suffice for making the Espresso Vodka Martini if you find it difficult to source vodka which is espresso flavored.

You need to also ensure that all the ingredients are of top quality only, otherwise the cocktail will not have the desired taste. Add interesting garnishes like maraschino cherries, olives, slices of fruit, sprigs of mint, etc. and a variety of other interesting garnishes to make the cocktails look visually appealing to enthusiasts. You need to also organize some good snack accompaniments, like burgers, chips and grilled platters, so that everyone at the party spends quality time eating and drinking joyously together. The whole idea behind a martini party is to celebrate a common taste. The texture of each drink can be worked upon to suit individual preferences in flavor and color!
