The second Northern Liberties Espresso Martini Crawl will feature 15 bars, restaurants and cafes. They'll serve their takes on the cocktail in March.

Bars in Northern Liberties are brewing up classic and modern takes on the espresso martini for a returning event next month.

The neighborhood's second espresso martini crawl will be held Saturday, March 15, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The coffee cocktails at 14 participating bars, many repeat players from the inaugural 2024 run, will cost $12 or less. One Shot Cafe will also offer a non-alcoholic Nutella "mocktini" for $6.25.

Some spots will serve multiple versions of the drink. At Bar1010, customers can order a classic, salted caramel or parmigiana espresso martini. El Camino Real will offer a standard sipper, along with frozen and Mexican hot chocolate varieties. Bourbon & Branch has three options, too — classic, Shanky's Whip chai or tiramisu — and so does Jerry's Bar, with classic, Cinnamon Toast Crunch or non-alcoholic salted caramel. But other places capped their menu to two specials. Standard Tap, for instance, has a regular or Thin Mint espresso martini. 

A few bars went all in with one crazy concoction. North Bowl will be serving a Choco Taco espresso martini, complete with a waffle cookie and chocolate- and nut-encrusted rim.
