I omit the triple sec, and use Absolut Citron vodka instead. Yum. Or optionally, substitute the berry flavored Absolut vodka instead for a raspberry-lemon drop. Yeah, I've had a few in my time...

My favorite martini recipe is "The Ultimate Javatini"

1 1/2 oz Vodka
1 oz Kahlua
1 oz Espresso

Shake with Ice in cocktail shaker.

Rim martini glass with vanilla, then roll in a sugar/cocoa powder mixture.

Serve straight up.

These were a huge hit at our TE Christmas party last year.
