History of the Drink

The Espresso Martini was created in the 1983 by bartender Dick Bradsell. He worked at the Soho Brasserie in London and was asked to make a drink for a fasion model who said she wanted something that would "wake me up, and then f*ck me up". Bradsell came up with a mix of Vodka, Coffee liqueur, and Espresso, and the Espresso Martini was born. The drink quickly gained popularity and has been a staple of cocktail menus ever since.
