A bold, punchy kick or a sweeter sip, our recipes are here to take your Espresso Martini game to the next level!
In the early 1980s, in Soho's vibrant club scene, bartender Dick Bradsell had a revelation. The story goes that Bradsell created the drink after a young model sidled up to the bar and asked for something to “wake me up and f**k me up”. His solution was a combination of vodka, fresh espresso and coffee liqueur, shaken into a frothy blend of bittersweet delight.
Making our signature Espresso Martini is a breeze—just shake up equal parts of the ingredients and you're good to go! Brace yourself for a flavour explosion where the coffee takes centre stage. But hey, if you prefer a sweeter version, we've got just the recipe to hit the spot.
