El Espresso Martini es un clásico de los IBA New Era Drinks que combina vodka, licor de café Kahlúa y un toque de sirope de azúcar, agitado vigorosamente sobre hielo y colado en una copa de cóctel. El agitado intenso con hielo produce una característica espuma gruesa y cremosa en la superficie, similar al crema del espresso. Es uno de los cócteles más populares de finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI.
History & Origins
The Espresso Martini was created in London by bartender Dick Bradsell in 1983 at the Soho Brasserie, reportedly at the request of a young model who asked for something to 'wake me up and then fuck me up.' Bradsell combined fresh espresso with vodka and coffee liqueur, and the drink became a defining cocktail of 1980s and 1990s London bar culture. It was recognized by the IBA as a New Era Drinks classic.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: intense roasted coffee from the Kahlúa and a clean vodka spirit note with a subtle vanilla sweetness from the sugar syrup. Palate: bitter coffee-forward with a sweet, smooth vodka body and a rich mocha character from the Kahlúa. Finish: long, roasted, and slightly sweet with the distinctive crema texture lingering.
Pro Tip
Use freshly pulled espresso rather than cold brew or instant coffee, and shake extremely hard to generate the thick, cold foam that defines a properly made Espresso Martini.
