The Espresso Martini is a modern classic cocktail created in 1983 by legendary London bartender Dick Bradsell at Fred's Club. This elegant drink perfectly combines the bold flavors of fresh espresso with smooth vodka and coffee liqueur.
With an alcohol content of around 20%, it's a well-balanced cocktail that delivers both the stimulating effects of caffeine and the relaxing qualities of alcohol. The drink is famous for its beautiful foam layer created by shaking fresh espresso with the other ingredients.
Traditionally served in a chilled martini or coupe glass and garnished with three coffee beans representing health, wealth, and happiness, the Espresso Martini has experienced a massive resurgence in popularity in recent years.
This versatile cocktail is perfect as an after-dinner drink, replacing traditional dessert, or as a pick-me-up cocktail that energizes while providing sophisticated enjoyment.
