For after-dinner sipping or a jolt of caffeine to get the party started, these libations are sure to suit your fancy in the 914.
Grunge, smoky eye, and animal print are back, baby! Following in the ’90s revival footsteps comes the espresso martini charging forward. The original vodka Redbull, this perfect balance of espresso and booze has been recreated and experimented with for decades. Here’s where you can get some of our favorite espresso martinis in Westchester (but you have to sing Spice Girls on the way there, I don’t make the rules).
Archie Grand
166B Mamaroneck Ave, White Plains; 914.861.0400
Hello, decadence! This sweet take on the classic includes brown sugar and espresso, topped off with speckles of brûléed caramel. And you can’t forget Bailey’s Irish Cream for that final note of dessert-like sipping.

Goosefeather
49 E Sunnyside Ln, Tarrytown; 914.829.5454
Goosefeather knows when to toe the line of classic and reinvention. With its espresso martini, it’s all about not fixing what’s never been broken. To cap off a meal full of class and flavor, sip on this shaken-to-perfection blend of vodka, espresso, and Sabroso.

With luscious layers of freshly brewed espresso, Kahlua, vanilla vodka, and Bailey’s Irish Cream, each sip of the espresso martinis at Hudson Prime is a dazzling experience of the senses.

Lilly’s

The adorably named “espressotini” will give you all the good vibes that Lilly’s has to offer. Ketel One and Frangelico star as the main ingredients in this drink, giving it a lush and toasty flavor.

Via Forno Wood Fired Pizza and Vinoteca
2 Garth Rd, Scarsdale; 914.556.6464
What would an exquisite Italian dining experience be without an espresso martini? Niente, that’s what. Vanilla vodka, Kahlua, and Bailey’s is totally amore, in our humble opinion.

Saltaire Oyster Bar
55 Abendroth Ave, Port Chester; 914.939.2425
If you’re a skeptic or just not a vodka person, there’s still a way for you to get in on the action. Saltaire Oyster Bar has found a way to incorporate all of our favorite elements of an espresso martini, but in a different vehicle. Four Roses Bourbon, Kahlua, and demerara-infused syrup comingle underneath a cocoa powder garnish to add another layer of refinement to the libation.
