Best Espresso Martini in America Awarded to Charming Newport Restaurant
The simplicity and sophistication of a good martini has attracted drinkers for decades. Over time, the popular drink has evolved from “simple” to “totally over the top”, with overpowering garnishes or mix-ins that turn the concoction into more of a mixed drink.
Somewhere in the middle, though, a well put together martini reigns supreme among those who imbibe.

Esquire Magazine is calling it “martini mania”. We are experiencing a surge in martini popularity, where some restaurants are rising to the occasion and others are missing the mark.
The editors at Esquire drank their way through the nation to find the top 40 martinis in the country, and it turns out a restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island is doing it right.

Best Espresso Martini Found in Newport, Rhode Island
According to Esquire, the perfect espresso martini is found at Clarke Cooke House. Found in the heart of downtown Newport, Clarke Cooke House is well known for its innovative cuisine and charming Newport experience.
It’s a place for any type of gathering, with its well-seasoned chef, knowledgeable servers, and equipped bar tenders who have successfully curated Esquire’s idea of Espresso Martini Perfection.
“The achievement isn’t in the ingredient list—Absolut Vanilla, Kahlúa, and espresso make a familiar blend—but in the execution,” said Esquire. “Shaken, shaken, and then shaken even a little longer, the thing is served arctic cold and downright fluffy.”
It sounds like a drink James Bond would be fond of.
Taste it yourself during your next outing in downtown Newport, and always remember to enjoy responsibly.
