The Espresso Martini is proof that coffee belongs in cocktails just as much as it does in your morning routine. Rich, smooth, and with just the right kick, it has become a modern classic that shows no sign of slowing down.
Created in London in the 1980s, it is all about energy and indulgence in equal measure. The key is a fresh espresso and a proper shake to get that signature frothy top.
