A Coffee Cocktail
to wake you up for
the new year:
The Espresso Martini is relatively
new when it comes to the history
of cocktails and was created by
London bartender Dick Bradsel. He
was working at Soho Brasserie in
1983, when a famous model walked
in and asked him to prepare her a
drink that would “wake her up”. As
there was a coffee machine next
to where he was serving drinks,
he decided to combine coffee with
vodka, and created what he initially
dubbed the “Vodka Espresso”.
The cocktail was later renamed
an Espresso Martini, based on the
V-shaped glass it is traditionally
served in.
