Derived from the words espresso and martini, Spressy ma
ma is the colloquial term for an Espresso Martini, a cocktail with equal parts espresso,
coffee liqueur and spirit. A typical combination would be an espresso shot, a nip of vodka and a nip of Kahlua, shaken over ice and strained into a martini glass with coffee
beans to garnish. Many establishments have their own recipe, all of which
wet the lip and wake one up a little bit.
