But where did Espresso Martini’s come from?

With a relatively short history, the Espresso Martini is believed to have been first created in the early 80s by a London bartender named Dick (of course!). Apparently, a famous model entered the Soho bar where he worked and asked him to create a drink that would “wake me up”. Given there was a coffee machine in the bar, he decided to combine the coffee with vodka. Naming it the Vodka Espresso, the original recipe featured vodka, sugar syrup, two types of coffee liqueur and freshly made espresso.
At the time, any cocktail served in a V-shaped glass was known as a martini, so he later renamed his drink the Espresso Martini.
