Did you know?
The origins of the Espresso Martini can be traced back to the busy streets of London in the 1980s. Dick Bradsell, a British bartender, is said to have created this iconic cocktail especially for a client. The story goes that the customer asked Dick Bradsell to concoct a cocktail that was both “invigorating and energizing”.
Inspired, Dick Bradsell set to work and created a stunning blend, mixing the intensity of espresso with the sweetness of vodka, and adding a touch of coffee liqueur for a subtle sweetness. He would then pour the mixture into a martini glass, giving it its emblematic name: the Espresso Martini.
This innovative cocktail quickly captured the hearts of trendy Londoners and spread like wildfire to cocktail bars around the world. Its popularity has grown steadily over the decades, becoming a must-have.
Today, the Espresso Martini continues to seduce cocktail lovers the world over.
