  4. with all the love for the current espresso with tonic fad, I wonder how well this recipe could be adapted as a fizz with tonic water instead of club soda or seltzer. It could be an interesting new twist on a fizz, and the only real changes would be adding an egg white and dry shaking with a coil before adding ice, shaking for chill, and then straining into a Collins or highball glass and elongating with some tonic water.

  5. Can't wait to try the recipe but: oh no – never never bang a boston shaker against the counter! bump it with your hand close to where the gap between the glass and the metal shaker begins (where they stop touching). The pint glass will shatter one day if you bang it against the counter and you'll also ruin the cocktail you're making (might know from experience)

  7. Dan, Thank you so much for this ! I have made several for my husband since you introduced this fabulous martini. It has made him sooo much easier to deal with when I can get him a bit , shall we say, laid back. This has saved us a ton of money on counseling.

  23. Okay…no vodka, espresso added, Benedictine and coffee liquor thrown in? Really, the only thing martini about this drink is the glass. Which doesn’t mean I didn’t watch the whole thing twice. Love every Dan video!

  30. Dan this drink looks excellent…. But what the heck has it to do with a real martini? Even if you used vodka (or gin) it is still not a martini just because it is served in a “martini glass”. Again, it looks very good but sadly over the years all the wonderful traditional cocktails have been so bastardized they have little in common with their namesake.
    Just call this a “rum and espresso” cocktail, or “Rum on the Run” (because of the caffeine keeps you going – get it?).

  33. The way he tried to break the seal by tapping it onto the counter made me cringe. As a bartender, I've always been told to never hit the shaker with a pint glass against the counter in case you hit it too hard or the wrong way and then the glass breaks into the drink.

  48. These videos usually have some kind of background music don’t they? It might be the white noise, but the lack of music and silence at the end was kinda bizarre. On the plus side, I’d smash one of those drinks.
