Espresso Martini
Mix your masterpiece.
It’s so simple, so enchanting, and has such a beautiful story behind it.
Legend has it that the Espresso Martini was created in 1983 at the London “Soho Brasserie.” Bartender Dick Bradsell initially called the drink he prepared for a model “Vodka Espresso.” and prepared it using vodka, sugar, coffee liqueur, and espresso. The model asked the bartender to make her a cocktail with coffee.
Here it is! The birth of the Espresso Martini.
Enjoy it to the fullest—sip by sip!
Ingredients:
30 ml espresso (fresh and strong)
50 ml vodka
15 ml coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
Ice cubes
Optional: a few coffee beans for decoration
Preparation:
Espresso: First, you need a strong, hot espresso. It’s the perfect base for your cocktail—so make sure it’s really good!
Mix it: Fill your shaker with ice cubes. Add the fresh espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur. Now comes the exciting part: Shake everything vigorously! About 15 seconds should be enough to get the drink nice and cold and frothy.
Final: Pour the drink into a chilled martini glass. The foam should settle nicely on top—a sign that you’ve done everything right!
Decoration: For the finishing touch, place a few coffee beans on top of the foam. Not only does it look great, but it also smells fantastic.
Sit back and enjoy your Espresso Martini with friends.
Cheers!
