About the Recipe
The espresso martini is a relative new comer compared to the some of the other super well known cocktails on the circuit. It is believed to be created in the early 1980s by British London bartender, Dick Bradsel. Rumour goes that the famous model Kate Moss walked in to the Soho Brasserie and asked Bradsel to make her a drink that would 'wake me up'. Not just a pretty face then!!
