From a Milwaukee, Wisconsin bar called The Lazy Susan comes this excellent variation on an espresso martini.

Coffee cocktails are where it's at. And what makes them even better? Adding a touch of heat. That's the way to take the classic espresso martini cocktail recipe and turn it into what we call "this just might be the best espresso martini cocktail recipe ever."

And that's where Ancho Chile Reyes comes in -- we suggest using Barrica, the limited edition version of the excellent liqueur made with hand-picked Ancho Chile peppers and aged two years, making the deep and rich coffee, chocolate, and cinnamon notes even deeper and richer.

Is that even possible? Yes, it is.

And it's delicious.
