Espresso Martini who? A new Kiwi spin on the iconic cocktail is giving after school slay

This is fueling my nostalgia!

Say see ya to your old Espresso martini, she's so last year! This year we're sipping the Milo-tinis - the cool, Kiwi cousin that's doing the viral rounds.

Using the classic malt powder of our childhoods, people are whipping up smooth and creamy bevvies that are screaming to be served at your next cocktail night.

Posted to Instagram by @cocktails, the mix is created using 60ml of Baileys, 30ml vodka, 240ml of milk, and one scoop - heaped of course - of Milo.

grab your shaker, toss in some ice, and channel your inner Taylor Swift with a good ol' shake, shake, shake.

pour that chocolicious concoction into a martini glass, and for an extra touch, give it a dusting of Milo to boujify it. Because why not?

We aren't the only ones eyeing up this delicious-looking Kiwi spin on the classic cocky-t, Comments are pouring in, filled with oohs and aahs, and some genius ideas to take it up a notch.

"Swap the milk out for ice cream and you've got a deal," one user came through with the game-changing suggestion.

Then there's the cheeky one who joked: "One scoop of Milo-like mums watching you. So that means 3 as soon as her back is turned."

A third suggested "making a mocktail version" for the non-drinkers... so an iced milo, lol. We love the thought though!

Now, the big question: Is the Milo Martini the new kween of our cocktail nights, or is it just messing with our childhood staple?
