It goes without saying that summer 2020&nbsp;is&nbsp;going to be&nbsp;unlike anything we&#39;ve <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/how-to-stream-attend-digital-fashion-week">experienced</a> before. And while the uncertainty of the current state of the world is as confusing as it is stress-inducing, something&nbsp;to look forward to&nbsp;are the warm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/perfecting-your-balcony-herb-garden">summer</a> nights ahead.

As countries slowly start to reopen, you might have noticed&nbsp;that the&nbsp;espresso martini has popped up&nbsp;on the terraces of the trendiest restaurants and bars.&nbsp;Perhaps this year&#39;s&nbsp;chaos is what&nbsp;explains the resurgence of the espresso martini, a&nbsp;usually &quot;off-the-menu&quot; drink that has been making an appearance lately.&nbsp;Because of this,&nbsp;we compiled a list of 5&nbsp;reasons why the espresso martini should be the drink of summer 2020.&nbsp;

2020 has been a&nbsp;bit of a rollercoaster&nbsp;ride and we&#39;re only halfway through!&nbsp;The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/instagram-trend-viral-flower-tea">caffeine</a>&nbsp;boost that comes with the espresso martini&nbsp;is probably what explains why New Yorkers are starting to embrace the caffeinated version of the classic&nbsp;martini.&nbsp;

1: The Best Kind of Boost 

Espresso martinis are a sweet and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/best-vegan-restaurants-in-los-angeles">refreshing</a> drink, perfect for a hot summer night. You can even&nbsp;toss in a couple of crushed ice-cubes in your drink. A&nbsp;spiked version of the classic&nbsp;frapuccino? Yes please!&nbsp;

2: Light and Refreshing 

Espresso martinis are as easy to make as they are delicious to consume. Only four ingredients are needed to make this delightful drink:&nbsp;vodka, espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup.

3: Easy to Make

It is said that the espresso martini was <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/facial-benefits-clean-and-detoxify-your-skin">invented</a> by the famous English&nbsp;bartender Dick Bradsell in the late 1980s while at Fred&#39;s Club in London. A&nbsp;young lady requested a drink that would &quot;Wake me up, and then f*ck me up.&quot;&nbsp;Talk about a good way to start the night.&nbsp;

4: A Drink With History

The espresso martini combines the two drinks that are synonymous with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/favorite-tv-dads">adulting</a>: coffee and alcohol. And since it is technically&nbsp;coffee, you can enjoy it without feeling too irresponsible.&nbsp;
