espresso martini History
A rich and creamy cocktail comprising vodka, espresso, sugar syrup and coffee liqueur, all served up in a Martini glass! The history of the iconic Espresso Martini is comparatively new, believed to be the creation of London bartender Dick Bradsel in the early 80s. Cocktail legend has it that a young, future supermodel sidled up to the bar and asked Dick to make her a cocktail that would help wake her up. He mixed up a drink using vodka and a shot of espresso pulled from the coffee machine next to his station and the Espresso Martini (originally “Vodka Espresso”) was born.
