Did you know?
The Espresso Martini dates back to the 1980, in the bustling streets of London. British bartender Dick Bradsell is said to have created this iconic cocktail especially for a customer. The story goes that she asked Dick Bradsell to make her a cocktail that was both “invigorating and energizing.”
Inspired, Dick Bradsell got to work and created a surprising blend, combining the intensity of espresso with the smoothness of vodka, rounded out with a touch of coffee liqueur for a subtle hint of sweetness. He then supposedly poured the mixture into a martini glass, giving it its iconic name: the Espresso Martini.
This innovative cocktail quickly won the hearts of fashionable Londoners and spread like wildfire to cocktail bars around the world. Its popularity has continued to grow over the decades, making it a must-have.
Today, the Espresso Martini continues to delight cocktail lovers around the world.
