Espresso Martini History
The Espresso Martini, a sophisticated coffee flavoured cocktail, was invented by London bartender Dick Bradsell in the 1980s. As the story goes, Bradsell created the drink at Fred's Club in Soho when a famous model requested a drink to "wake her up" and "F**K her up". Combining vodka, espresso coffee, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup, the Espresso Martini quickly became renowned for its rich, bold flavour and energising effect. Its signature is the creamy foam top, garnished often with a few coffee beans. The cocktail encapsulates the vibrant London bar scene and remains a popular choice for its blend of indulgence and invigoration.
Pairing Suggestions
Elevate your Espresso Martini at home with our specially selected dish pairings, designed to complement the cocktail's rich coffee and vodka flavours:
Canapés: Mini beef sliders or mushroom crostini offer a robust start, perfectly matching the martini's depth. Starter: A beetroot and goat cheese salad or a caramelised onion tart balances the cocktail's richness with earthy and sweet notes. Meat Dish: Slow-cooked pork belly with a coffee glaze enhances the Espresso Martini's coffee essence. Fish Dish: Seared tuna with a soy and ginger dressing brings out the martini's complex flavours. Vegan Dish: Quinoa stuffed bell peppers, offering a light yet flavourful contrast to the cocktail's intensity. Dessert: Chocolate lava cake or a vegan dark chocolate mousse, echoing the velvety and indulgent notes of the Espresso Martini for a harmonious finish.
