History

The Espresso Martini is a classic cocktail that has become a favorite among coffee and cocktail enthusiasts alike. It was created in the 1980s by London bartender Dick Bradsell, who was asked to create a drink that would "wake me up, and then f*** me up." The result was a perfect blend of coffee, vodka, and sweetness. The cocktail typically consists of vodka, freshly brewed espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and a touch of sugar syrup. It is shaken vigorously with ice to create a frothy texture and strained into a martini glass. The Espresso Martini offers a delightful combination of strong coffee flavors, a hint of sweetness, and a smooth, velvety finish. It is the perfect choice for those seeking an elegant and energizing drink to enjoy during a night out or as an after-dinner treat.
