Pumpkin Espresso Martini — AKB at Archer Hotel Florham Park 12 Months of Cocktails: September
The inspiration Garden State pumpkin picking
An agricultural mecca in the 1800s, New Jersey earned its Garden State nickname as a leading producer of berries, peaches, spinach and squash. Even today, much of the state is still wooded, with more than 9,000 farms growing a variety of fruits and vegetables — including one of the state’s important cash crops and fall’s favorite winter squash, the pumpkin.
FUN FACT: Some of our favorite autumn escapes include pumpkin picking that’s close to Florham Park.
Alex Giacchino, bar supervisor at AKB in Florham Park, created this pumpkin espresso martini for Archer’s 12 Months of Cocktails September pour. It’s a spirited nod to the upcoming pumpkin spice season with added buzz from espresso and Kahlua.
