Dark, foam-capped, and tasting faintly of a decision made after midnight. The coffee liqueur brings plenty of sugar, so the agave is doing texture more than sweetness — go heavier and the tequila vanishes under it. Nobody has ever finished one of these and then gone to bed.

Steve’s notes

Called 'non-Martini' because it uses tequila rather than vodka as the espresso martini's base spirit.
