If you love this cocktail, then you've got to try our gorgeous Espresso Martini Cake, or our Espresso Martini Ice Lollies.Įditor's Note: This article was updated on 23 May, 2022 to include more information about the recipe. It was reportedly the drink of 1990s supermodels like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. He created it for a young model at his bar who requested a cocktail that would wake her up. Over the years, he refined and simplified the recipe into what we know now as the Espresso Martini. The espresso martini is a relatively young cocktail, created in 1983 by a legendary London bartender named Dick Bradsell. The ice is key in keeping your cocktail ice-cold, and will encourage that frothy head when pouring as it helps emulsify the mixture. The Espresso Martini was actually born from the Vodka Espresso, which was originally created by London bartender legend Dick Bradsell in 1983 (for a very famous model who exactly remains a mystery). As well as a good shaking routine, make sure you've got plenty of ice. Yep - shake, shake, shake and shake some more! Even if it feels like your arm's about to fall off. Add the vodka, Kahula and espresso to a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. The trick to a frothy cocktail is simply to shake as hard as you can. Make the espresso in an espresso maker or an Aeropress, or make very strong coffee. How do I make my Espresso Martini frothy? Don't like the taste of Kahlúa full stop? Give Amaretto, or Creme de Cacao a go. If you've struggled to get your hands on Kahlúa, you could pretty much use any type of coffee/chocolate flavoured liqueur instead. The cold coffee flavoured cocktail was invented by bartender, Dick Bradsell, in the 1980s when someone asked for a drink that would “wake me up, then f*ck me up.” (True story).Īs well as inventing the Espresso Martini, Bradsell is also known for creating the deliciously-tart, blackberry-flavoured Bramble cocktail, too. Made with a short shot of freshly brewed espresso, it also requires vodka and Kahlúa, a coffee liqueur, and of course plenty of ice. Some people use sugar syrup, too. Perhaps the most well-known post-dinner cocktail around, the Espresso Martini is a drink of caffeinated beauty. Combining two of our favourite things (*cough* booze and coffee *cough*) it's no wonder we often find ourselves drinking it in place of a dessert.
