"This Beacon Hill gem opened three years ago on picturesque Mount Vernon Street. It specializes in the classics, and will certainly make you a memorable martini, but the real star of the show is the espresso martini. While espresso martini is not truly a martini — given its lack of gin and vermouth — we would be remiss not to mention this one, which features El Tesoro Private Barrel Tequila, espresso, vanilla, lactic acid, and the option to substitute Franklin-made GlenPharmer Espresso Vodka. Under “Espresso Martini” on the cocktail list, it reads “trust us.” We encourage you to do just that." - Anna Darrow
