Restoring Old Key Binding for eval-expression |

I am just starting to use a current version of Emacs that has eval-expression
bound to M-:. I used to use eval-expression a lot and loved being able to just
type Esc Esc to invoke eval-expression. Is there a way to restore this in my
.emacs file? I've tried several things, like:
(global-set-key "\M-ESC" 'eval-expression)
(global-set-key "\M-ESC" 'eval-expression)
(global-set-key "ESC-ESC" 'eval-expression)
but I can't get any of these to work. M-: is unwieldy as I have to hit the
Meta key, the colon, and the shift key all at the same time.
I really miss Esc Esc, which used to work I guess because the old binding was
M-Esc, and Esc-Esc did the same thing.
I've tried googling for help on this but am having trouble finding anything.
When I google "emacs restore m-esc eval-expression' I just get a lot of hits
from old documentation on Emacs when it used to have the old key binding...
Thanks,
Robbie
