A Brief History of the Espresso Martini
The Espresso Martini has its origins in the 1980s, credited to a London bartender who created the cocktail for a model who wanted something to “wake her up and then mess her up.” This playful request led to a drink that’s become a modern classic, loved for its rich coffee flavor and smooth vodka base.
