  4. Pour orange and lime juice over ice.
  5. Stir: and check these fun drink stirrers to make it even better.

To garnish, top the rims with sliced limes, jalapeños, and coarse salt.

Espresso Mock-tini

Drink this warm or over ice. Essentially a latte, but when you serve it in a martini glass, or a clear mug, this is an elevated espresso martini. 

  • Coffee
  • Milk of choice (or sub heavy whipping cream)
  • Hot cocoa
  • Cinnamon

Pour these ingredients in desired amounts: more coffee = richer; more milk = creamier.

Mix it up: 

  • Garnish with dark chocolate ganache or chocolate sprinkles.
  • Dollop a scoop of vanilla ice cream and your guests’ nights will be made. 
  • Freeze coffee ice cubes (in fun shapes, of course) to sub for ice, and prolong your drink’s flavor.
  • If serving warm, froth the milk and stir in a touch of honey to sweeten.
