This Mother's Day my sister, Barbara, made a special treat for us. It was an espresso martini that she had first made with my cousin during her visit to New York City recently. My cousin had been tweeking this recipe for awhile and when my sister visited her in April, she was eager for Barbara to try her perfected version. This is the same cousin who I wrote about here who does the waffle parties in her New York apartment. My sister hosted a barbecue at her house on Mother's Day with Bruce and I, her son and his wife and their kids. Here are the three moms together with our special espresso martinis. The men fired up the barbecue and cooked some bratwurst for dinner and we all contributed some salads to accompany them. It made for another wonderful family feast, something my family is very good at pulling together. And a lovely coconut cake for dessert to top it off. Now, back to his espresso martini.
