Get Your Espresso Martini On At These 11 Maltese Bars
There’s nothing like a well-executed Espresso Martini to help you digest after a nice meal, as a pre-drink or a quick pick-me-up in the bar when you feel yourself getting a little too drunk-tired. We much prefer it to James Bond’s clear Martini preference.
Not sure where to get good Espresso Martinis in Malta? Not to worry, because we’ve spent our time to selflessly curate a list that tells you where to go for that coffee-based cocktail of champions.
Pack a mint though if you don’t want to leave with coffee breath!
