Celebrate National Espresso Martini Day With The #1 Crush

Happy National Espresso Martini Day! Celebrate with the #1 Crush cocktail from Mister Mao in NOLA!

“The #1 Crush is a lavishly constructed version of the esteemed espresso martini,” says General Manager Roger Eyles, “The reposado tequila is fat washed with cacao butter to create a rich and voluptuous chocolate flavor, and the espresso concentrate (made by our friends at Coffee Science) provides a little extra stamina for a magical evening.”
