One of our favourite drinks is having its moment in the sun this summer, as London’s first espresso martini festival touches down in the capital.

This decadent and darkly delicious drink will be celebrated in an event run by Australian coffee liquor maestros, Mr Black.

The boozy caffeine experts have teamed up with DrinkUp.London for next month’s three-day extravaganza, which will run from 10 to 12 August.

The festival will see fifty of London’s most illustrations cocktail haunts flaunt their martini-mixing skills with a hefty sidekick of coffee.
