This new twist on the espresso martini will be available to his Miami fans this year. In their first-ever spirits partnership, Butler and his team at BIGFACE crafted the BIGFACE Café Con Ocho. The cocktail uses two star ingredients—BIGFACE Coffee La
Paz Espresso and BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho. The new and unexpected take on the popular espresso martini cocktail elevates the party experience with bold notes of nutmeg and vanilla from the premium rum, paired perfectly with the grapefruit, currant, and sugarcane flavors in the coffee.

This winning cocktail is available at the following locations: The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami , The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami, 1 Hotel South Beach , COTE Miami, and Café La Trova.
