The perfect Espresso Martini is a classy cocktail, which shines on its own at parties or serves as a decadent digestif after a lavish dinner, adorned with a sprinkle of coffee beans.

The Espresso Martini emerged during a vibrant era when Britain embraced its creative spirit with confidence and irreverence. It ignited a cocktail revolution influenced by New York City and the late-night extravagance off glamorous supermodels, trendsetting restaurateurs and rebels. The story goes that Dick Bradsell, the ‘King of Cocktails’ created ‘The Vodka Espresso’ now known as ‘The Espresso Martini’ when a famous super model entered a bar in the 1980’s and asked for “something to wake me up, then fuck me up”.
