We don’t condone booze for breakfast, but if we did, the most balanced metaphorical meal would have to be an Espresso Martini alongside the lesser-mentioned Breakfast Martini. In a world where boozy brunch menus are generally limited to Mimosas, Espresso Martinis, and Bloody Marys, it’s unfortunate that the Breakfast Martini has somewhat faded from the public consciousness, as it’s not just a delicious drink, but one that pushes the boundaries of what we consider when it comes to cocktail ingredients.

But coming into this transition period, it’s a good excuse to get a bit experimental with your cocktails.

But with a few simple changes in ingredients, you can create a handful of different types of martinis.
