Espresso Martini

• The original Espresso Martini is a simple combination of vodka, espresso, and coffee liqueur. The drink originated in the 1980s. Created in 1983 by London-based bartender Dick Bradsell at Fred’s Club. As the famous story goes, Bradsell was asked by a well-known model to make something that would “wake me up and fuck me up,”
