'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Premiere Buzz Is No Match For The Devil's Roast Cocktail

Everything You Need to Know About the Devil's Roast

With the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially hitting theaters on May 1, 2026, the fashion world is buzzing with the return of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. As the digital age threatens the traditional reign of runway fashion, we’re looking back at the drink that perfectly captures the sharp, caffeinated energy of a New York fashion office. To get in the mood for the premiere, we’ve taken the signature espresso order that defined Andy Sachs' early days and elevated it for the executive level with a shot of vodka and coffee liqueur. While legend has it that Anna Wintour prefers a classic Starbucks bean, we think this salty twist on the classic Espresso Martini—inspired by Grey Goose Vodka—is much more suited for a front-row seat at Fashion Week.

Instructions

  1. Add the vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, and sea salt into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously until the exterior of the shaker is frost-chilled to the touch.
  3. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  4. Garnish with three espresso beans in a tight cluster.
Pro Tip
For a groundbreaking foam that holds its garnish, shake all ingredients without ice first, then add ice and shake again. This ensures a thick, velvety head that would pass any Runway inspection.

The Devil's Roast Riff

Swap the espresso for a concentrated matcha shot and the coffee liqueur for white cacao. It’s a bright, green alternative for those who prefer the look of a spring collection over a dark roast.
