It’s a Sunday and you’re trying to decide if you want a wake-me-up coffee or brunch cocktail. Why not get a drink that’s both? Espresso martinis are the perfect accompaniment for brunch, and the Orlando cocktail scene has perfected this libation. Here are the best espresso martinis in Orlando!
Okay, think coffee shop meets cafe meets cocktail lounge. The Robinson is one of those places that you HAVE to visit. And on the top of the list of recs for this restaurant is the espresso martini. The martini comes with your choice of spirit, Creme de Cacao, Frangelico, espresso and a dash of absinthe. Can you think of a better combo?
Oh, and don’t forget to munch on between sips! We love their spicy crispy chicken sandwich with Nashville hot honey, but don’t fret if spicy isn’t your thing because they have a killer avocado!

Let’s head on down to Disney’s Coronado Springs for this next go-to place for espresso martinis. Sitting atop Gran Destino Tower is Dahlia Lounge which offers some of the best drinks and views on Disney World property.
The vibes in here are just amazing, especially at golden hour! The lounge is just across the way from Toledo – Tapas, Steak and Seafood, so you can enjoy drinks before or after your dinner. Dahlia Lounge is also known for its expert mixologists, so be prepared to have an amazing drink made just for you.
Known as “the cult fave”, the New York Beer Project espresso martini is one of the many reasons to visit this venue that’s designed to resemble an old brewing warehouse.
Transport yourself to New York City without the hustin’ and bustin’ of the city in this restaurant and brewery. Order an authentic NYC-themed dish like The Carnegie or a delicious cheesecake. Any of these will pair perfectly with the espresso martini in this Winter Garden gastropub. Make sure to also check out their weekly events like Wednesday burger nights where you get $5 off their 10oz burger!

Step into the movie “Beauty and the Beast” in this themed lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. From cocktails to a variety of wines, this place is one of the most enchanted lounges on Disney World property.
Enchanted Rose’s drink menu includes one of the best espresso martinis we’ve had. Paired with the ambience of the lounge, it creates a perfect match! Another great choice is the Island Rose which goes well with a charcuterie board or truffle fries. This place forms a line quickly as the days goes on, so be sure to hit it around 3:30PM when the lounge opens!

This espresso martini is a little bit different from the rest. This wake-up call is a mixture of house espresso-infused Barsol Pisco—a Peruvian brandy—and Caffe Borghetti espresso liqueur.
We love little South American twist to this classic brunch cocktail. Our current brunch obsession at Wine Bar George is their wake-up call martini and the french toast topped with caramel sauce.
This place is amazing! One of the BEST restaurants you can eat at in Disney Springs! They were even awarded the BEST wine list in the world! I loved the La Perlina moscato and the pan seared chicken breast! This is the perfect rooftop spot right in the Disney Bubble! 10/10 you won’t regret eating here! ✨☺️🍷🍇
