They say attention to detail will get you everywhere.  And when 'they' say this, what they mean (in this case at least) is: “grind your own espresso beans people.”  The freshly prepared Italian espresso in this martini elevates it from the rudimentary after dinner or 11 pm pick-me-up-I-need-to-keep-dancing espresso martinis and makes it truly magnificent.  There is probably a decent amount of alcohol in this, but your taste buds will be too enamored with smoky and smooth coffee flavor characteristics to really notice.  Take note, brain: this is stronger than it appears.  Quite a delightful treat for coffee lovers.
