The Espresso Martini is a cold, coffee-flavored cocktail made with vodka, espresso coffee, and coffee liqueur. This is our take on it and lets spice it up a notch with Nitro!
A brief history lesson
Although there are several claims for the origin of the espresso martini. One of the more common claims is that it was created by Dick Bradsell in the late 1980s while at Freds Club in London for a young lady who asked for something that would, "Wake me up, and then fuck me up." And that was how it was popularized.
You can watch the video that Bradsell went viral claiming that he invented the drink here:
