As one of the most famous cocktails of all time, the Espresso Martini stakes its claim for the number one spot in many drinkers’ pallets. With a sweet and understated elegance, this drink is known for its ability to light the fuse of an event, often leading to a night of dancing stretching into the early hours.
Caffeine, sugar, Alcohol. The Espresso Martini contains everything a night of dancing and partying could ask for. This drink is here to rouse you with its spirited enchantment.
The espresso martini quickly gained popularity and has since become a staple in bars and cocktail lounges around the world. Its origins can be traced back to the cocktail culture of London, where legendary bartender Dick Bradsell worked at the Soho Brasserie. The combination of coffee and alcohol was a unique concept at the time, and the espresso martini became a symbol of sophistication and style.
The legend goes (depending on who you ask) that a top model at the time, alleged to have been Naomi Campbell, requested a drink that would pick her up, and liven her up. Bradsell obliged and, eyeing the bar's shiny, new espresso machine that he happened to be positioned next to, proceeded to mix coffee, vodka, and sugar syrup. With the result being the creation of the Espresso Martini.
"A Darker Indulgence"
The espresso martini offers a luxurious drinking experience with its rich tasting notes and complex flavors. When sipping on this elegant cocktail, you can expect to be greeted by the bold aroma of freshly brewed espresso, which immediately awakens your senses.
As you take your first sip, the smoothness of the vodka envelops your palate, providing a clean and refreshing base for the robust coffee flavours. The intense bitterness of the espresso is beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the coffee liqueur, creating a harmonious blend of flavours.
The espresso martini has a velvety mouthfeel that coats your tongue, leaving behind a lingering coffee aftertaste. The combination of the strong espresso and the alcohol content of the vodka creates a delightful warming sensation, making it a perfect drink for cozy evenings or social gatherings.
Whether you're a coffee lover or a cocktail enthusiast, savouring the rich tasting notes of the espresso martini is an experience that is sure to delight your senses and leave you craving for more.
