Created in the 1990s by the late bartender Dick Bradsell, the Espresso Martini was one of the defining figures of the bar scene in his time.
Well, the Espresso Martini works well on its own for all these occasions, since it brings together the versatility of coffee and the excitement of liquors and vodka. Rich and creamy, the liqueur is sweet while the coffee gives this recipe a rich depth, and the vodka delivers that necessary kick you need during parties.
The ideal type of coffee for this recipe is a full-bodied and intense blend, such as the La Reserva de Tierra Brasile Espresso or La Reserva de Tierra Selection from Central and South America, whose dark roast leaves a soft and pleasant chocolaty aftertaste.
