Hank’s Espresso Martini

What makes the Hurricane Hank’s Espresso Martini so memorable? It all starts with exceptional ingredients—and three locally owned businesses working together to create one unforgettable cocktail.

For more than 26 years, Hurricane Hank’s has been a favorite gathering place on Anna Maria Island, known for its welcoming atmosphere, outstanding food, and handcrafted cocktails. Among its most popular creations is the Espresso Martini, a drink that has quickly become a guest favorite.

The secret is Screaming Parrot Coffee, the custom espresso roast from sister business Fifty Three Fifty The Pourhouse. Recently recognized once again as a Readers’ Choice Award-winning café, Fifty Three Fifty developed its signature espresso using premium Arabica beans from a sustainable farm in Nicaragua. The result is a rich, smooth espresso with subtle notes of chocolate and vanilla that provides the perfect foundation for an exceptional Espresso Martini. Named after Anna Maria Island’s colorful Monk Parakeets—better known as the Screaming Parrots—the coffee captures a little of the island’s unique personality in every cup. The espresso is expertly paired with premium vanilla vodka and Kahlúa to create a cocktail that’s bold, smooth, and perfectly balanced. For those who want to enjoy the experience at home, the same spirits are available at Hurricane Liquors, another member of the Hurricane Hank’s family of businesses.

Whether you’re enjoying dinner at Hurricane Hank’s, starting your morning at Fifty Three Fifty The Pourhouse, or shopping at Hurricane Liquors, you’ll discover the same commitment to quality, hospitality, and the island lifestyle—all brought together in one remarkable Espresso Martini.
