We’ve had a love affair with tequila coffee drinks for quite some time now. The Zuniga Espress might be the drink that started it all. Espresso, Azuñia Añejo tequila, Molinari Caffé, Cherry Heering Liqueur, and vanilla syrup are simply sensuous in this coffee martini. Once you add a little java to your agave, you’ll understand why we fell head over heels for this powerhouse pairing.
