Where it comes from
The espresso martini was made by London bartender Dick Bradsell around 1983 at the Soho Brasserie. The story goes that a model asked for a drink to wake her up, and the coffee machine sat right next to his station. He first called it a Vodka Espresso and served it on ice, and the version in a martini glass came in the late 1990s.
