STEP BY STEP ESPRESSO MARTINI RECIPE
STEP 1: IT’S ALL IN THE PREPARATION.
You’ve heard the saying the early bird gets the worm, well it’s the same with this baby, extract your coffee beforehand and let it chill man! That’ll help to minimize the dilution, make your drink colder and really wow your taste buds!
STEP 2: SHAKE IT BABY!
Add the vodka, coffee liquor and espresso along with some ice cubes to your cocktail shaker. Remember you need to bring this drink to life so shake for all your worth. It’ll mix the drink properly and give you a great frothy foam too.
STEP 3: TAKE THE STRAIN…
When straining pour the drink quickly through from the shaker straight into a chilled Martini glass. It all helps with creating a beautiful foam on top of Martini.
STEP 4: TO FINISH…
For added effect, garnish with a few whole coffee beans into the glass to really wow your guests!

WHERE WAS ESPRESSO MARTINI INVENTED?
Espresso Martini is a cocktail with a story… a bit of a legend you might say… invented by bartender Dick Bradsell, whilst working at Fred’s Club, in London.
Fred’s was where is was at in the 80’s and Dick was at the heart of it all crafting more classic cocktails than any other bartender alive… a fitting legacy to this master of his art. One such fitting epitaph is the Espresso Martini…
The magic apparently happened when a top British super model asked Dick to create something for her that would “Wake me up, and then f@$* me up.” The rest is history…
