Each venue for the Espresso Martini Fest was hand-picked by the Mr Black team, using their cocktail and coffee know-how to craft a carefully curated map of hot bars, trending restaurants and go-to destinations. 

Thinking far beyond shaken or stirred, these masterful martini mixologists will clarify, carbonate, smoke, infuse, freeze, and foam to offer up the most innovative Espresso Martini yet.
