There are many recipes for the Chocolate Martini out there, but I like this one. This isn’t an actual “Martini,” like the French Martini, it is just a name.

| .5 oz. | Hot Espresso |
| .5 oz. | Cream |
The Hot Shot is one of the rare shots made hot, hence the name. It is a novelty shot straight out of the 90’s.

The Café con Leche Flip, or “Coffee with milk” in English, is an alcoholic riff on a latté. The cocktail was invented by Sam Ross. The drink isn’t a traditional flip, as it contains dairy and only uses Egg Yolk instead of the whole Egg.

The Screaming Orgasm is, like the Sex on the Beach and Blow Job, is another crudely named Cocktail from the 1980’s. The thought behind the name is perhaps the drink is so creamy and delicious that it’ll make you have a screaming orgasm.
| 1.5 oz. | Brandy |
| 1 oz. | Coffee Liqueur |
| 1 oz. | Cream |
| Garnish | Grated Nutmeg |
The Coffee Alexander, like the Blue Alexander, is a riff on the Brandy Alexander. It trades the Dark Creme de Cacao for Coffee Liqueur, but ultimately tastes pretty similar.

The Irish Coffee’s origin is unclear, but is thought to have been created in Ireland in the 1940’s. It was made famous in the 1950’s after an American columnist, named Stanton Delphane had one in Ireland and asked Jack Koeppler, the owner of Buena Vista Café in San Francisco, California, to recreate it. This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
