Chic Cocktail Books

Scentini Espresso Martini Candles 

My love for the espresso martini hasn’t dwindled since it first took over the scene. What better way to pay homage to one of my favorite drinks than having one sit on my mantle at all times—in candle form. Meet The Original Espresso Martini Candle, handmade in Tampa, Florida. Perfectly scented to replicate the aroma of freshly brewed espresso, each candle is crafted in-house and finished with three real coffee beans for health, wealth, and happiness. Even the 9.25-ounce glass is part of the experience—an authentic martini glass designed to be reused long after the candle has burned down. Just don’t drink one too many real espresso martinis and mistake it for a real one!
