UH's lifestyle and entertainment magazine - by students, for students

Espresso martinis are all the craze among young adults these days–or so it seems. In fact, we may even go so far as to assume somewhere in the world at this very moment, someone is ordering one.

The drinks have gained popularity over the last few years, but here at Cooglife, we couldn’t help but wonder whether or not the current espresso martini fad is just another momentary clout accessory or if the avid drinkers genuinely like them.

Why are they being held to such high regard? We polled our readers, and here is what we found out!

Apparently, Coogs hate them a tini bit–no, actually a lot more– than one would presume. Our Instagram poll revealed 75% of respondents do not drink nor like espresso martinis.

To summarize their feelings, one respondent described the concoctions. “Way too strong,” she said. And, while they have not acquired the taste for the drinks, they have also yet to acquire positive attitudes towards those who actually consume them.

We utilized Instagram’s emoji slider function to get a better understanding of how respondents felt about the consumers. The average response classified those who prefer their espressos in martini form to be “clout chasers.”

Who would have assumed this? 

So, as a proud Coog, the next time you pull up a seat at a bar, ask yourself whether or not you’re ordering an espresso martini because you actually like the taste or because you want a picture-perfect drink for your Instagram story. 

Besides, where caffeine drinks are concerned, we trust the judgment of Coogs. Have you ever seen or been a victim of waiting in the lines at Cougar Grounds? If your answer is no and you also happen to genuinely like espresso martinis, it may be time to turn in your Cougar Card–or an opportunity to advocate your POV to your fellow Coogs.
