Espressoself: Next Stop, Paris and Bordeaux

By Keith Sherman, Business Development at Swartz and Associates

Research can certainly be interesting and fun, especially if you’re making the effort to espressoself.

In spring of 2023, my wife and I were in Milan after spending time in Rome, Florence, and Cinque Terre. This is where I discovered, or let’s say tried for the first time, an espresso martini. I was told that the bartender that served us was one of, if not the, best mixologist in all of Milan. Since then, I have been on a quest to find the best espresso martini most everywhere I go… sometimes on weekdays.

Fast forward to our latest adventure a couple of weeks ago. We went to Paris and Bordeaux where we encountered espresso martinis with design and artistry worthy of a fancy coffee drink. In Paris, the bartender assured me he makes the best version. I’ve heard that a number of times, confidence is clearly a part of the recipe. Cue the photos in this blog!

Were these the best of espresso martinis of all time? Hard to say. It’s often a formula that involves the people you are with, where you are geographically, and being open to the variety of ways they are made. I’ve tried this yummy concoction in 42 cities, stateside and internationally and it is pretty fun taking this show on the road. Where have you had your favorite espresso martini?
