Angular an Appletini

Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)

C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”
