Hot Shot Espresso

Despite our best efforts, the post-Thanksgiving dinner coma can put a real hindrance on Black Friday shopping. Counteract the tryptophan effect and kick start all that holiday gift buying with a caffeinated cocktail to get you through the night. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and cheers to good deals!
