An Espresso Martini is a popular cocktail that combines the rich flavors of coffee with the smoothness of vodka. It typically includes freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and sugar syrup, shaken with ice to create a frothy texture. The drink is served in a chilled martini glass and often garnished with coffee beans. This cocktail was created in the 1980s by bartender Dick Bradsell in London. It has gained popularity for its unique blend of caffeine and alcohol, making it a favorite choice for those looking to enjoy a pick-me-up while socializing.
