Espresso Martini

The Espresso Martini was created by London bartender Dick Bradsell in the 1980s. It is said to have been created at the request of a model who wanted a drink that could 'wake her up and f**k her up.' Made with vodka, coffee liqueur, syrup, and fresh espresso, it perfectly combines the stimulating effects of alcohol and caffeine.

Flavor
The Espresso Martini blends rich coffee flavors with the smoothness of vodka, presenting a sweet and creamy mouthfeel with a long finish.
