Espresso Martini

This won a "Golden Whisk Award" from the Atlanta Journal Constitution in 2004, meaning it was one of their top 10 recipes for the year. This one is different from others in that it contains cold coffee and is garnished with malted milk balls. Great for a girls' night or a holiday gathering...or hey, just because you deserve it!
