Espresso martini named nation’s favourite cocktail

The espresso martini has been named the UK’s favourite cocktail, according to the nation’s leading recipe site.

The Just Eat for Business’s Cocktail Championship crowned the espresso martini after it boasted the highest average rating compared to the number of reviews left, making it the best cocktail overall.

London-based Mixologist Harp Mann said: “Better bars have resulted in the better quality of drink and that has helped create huge interest in cocktails again over the past few years.

“Cocktails offer theatre, a treat, opulence, fun, good times – essentially an experience – so there’s the social element of them. Also mixed drinks offer a great way to experience new flavours, new spirits and aperitifs, more premium or better quality ingredients too.”
