Espresso Martini

Mix your masterpiece.

It's so simple, so beguiling and with a beautiful story behind it.

Legend has it that the Espresso Martini was created in London's "Soho Brasserie" in 1983. The bartender Dick Bradsell initially called the drink he prepared for a model Vodka Espresso and made it from vodka, sugar, coffee liqueur and espresso. The model asked the bartender to make her a cocktail with coffee.

Le voilà! The birth of the Espresso Martini.

Enjoy it to the full - sip by sip!

Ingredients:
  • 30 ml espresso (fresh and strong)

  • 50 ml vodka

  • 15 ml coffee liqueur (e.g. Kahlúa)

  • ice cubes

  • Optional: a few coffee beans for decoration

Preparation:
  1. Espresso: First, you need a strong, hot espresso. The perfect base for your cocktail - so make it really good!

  2. Mix it: Fill your shaker with ice cubes. Add the fresh espresso, vodka and coffee liqueur. Now comes the exciting part: shake everything vigorously! Around 15 seconds should be enough to get the drink nice and cool and frothy.

  3. Finale: Pour the drink into a chilled martini glass. The foam should settle nicely on top - a sign that you've done everything right!

  4. Decoration: For the finishing touch, place a few coffee beans on top of the foam. Not only does it look great, it also smells fantastic.

Sit back and enjoy your espresso martini with friends.

Cheers!
