So let's take a closer look if the Espresso Martini is deserving of this ignominy. In 2021, the Espresso Martini took the thorny crown of judgment from the Aperol Spritz. And if you are reading this, put your open vermouth in the fridge, already.īut as another year has passed, thankfully the anti-Aperol crowd has calmed, but no cocktail is safe from being the target of the next hated-upon drink. If turned vermouth and cheap gin are used, it’s going to be a bad drink but, if quality is kept in check, it’s a foolproof, delightful quaff. The question of quality is always important: even the most classic of cocktails can turn sour if the right ingredients are not utilized.
The NYT cited mostly issues with the quality of the individual ingredients (namely gin and Prosecco), but this can be said of literally any drink. This statement is patently false, as the Aperol Spritz is a simple, refreshing cocktail that is a welcome refreshment on a summer day. In 2019, the Aperol Spritz found a laser sight on itself, being called “not a good drink” by the New York Times.
