Few characters carry as much authority as Miranda Priestly, the force at the center of The Devil Wears Prada. Portrayed by Meryl Streep, she is elegance, style, power, and precision personified. For a cocktail that follows suit, the 18 Karat Espresso Martini is rich and unapologetically luxurious. It blends vodka with bold cold brew concentrate and Wigle Whiskey Coffee Liqueur for an espresso martini with a major upgrade. Finish with gold leaf-covered coffee beans, deliberately placed. She might even concede that this drink is groundbreaking.

Miranda’s Role in The Devil Wears Prada 2
Miranda Priestly remains the authority figure of Runway Magazine in The Devil Wears Prada 2. She continues to pursue her vision even as the industry around her is changing faster than ever. At Runway, print is declining and digital influence is on the rise. Rather than stepping aside, Miranda stays firmly at the center working with Andy to keep Runway going with the excellence she has always required.
