Besides being truly delicious, this drink is the perfect way to get a small boost of energy on your night out, or in. In fact, the Espresso Martini is believed to have been invented in the 1980s by the late bartender Dick Bradsell in London. The story goes that a model asked for a drink that would "wake me up, and then f*** me up," and Bradsell combined fresh espresso, vodka, and sugar to create the now-iconic cocktail. In recent years, the Espresso Martini has become a popular choice among coffee and cocktail enthusiasts, making its mark on modern cocktail culture.
