Espresso Martini

Who says you can’t have your coffee and cocktail too? The Espresso Martini is a modern classic born in the 1980s when a supermodel asked London bartender Dick Bradsell for a drink that would “wake me up and then f*** me up.” Mission accomplished. Made with vodka, fresh espresso, coffee liqueur, and a touch of simple syrup, it’s bold, buzzy, and dangerously smooth—like your favorite iced coffee with a glamorous kick. Perfect for post-dinner energy or pre-dance-floor confidence.
