A kick of coffee, a dash of spice, and a whole lot of style. The Spiced Gin Espresso Martini is where late-night energy meets cocktail elegance.

  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) spiced syrup (see below)
  • 2–3 dashes aromatic bitters (optional, for depth)

Spiced Syrup (prep ahead)

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
