Espresso Buzz Martini

The Espresso Buzz Martini is a legendary cocktail with an intriguing history. This classic Kahlúa drink was invented in 1983 by the late bartender legend Dick Bradsell when a British supermodel sought a drink that could both wake her up and "f**k her up." This cocktail is also known as the Espressotini and is a delightful blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, and chilled espresso. To achieve the perfect frothy foam, it's essential to prepare the espresso beforehand and shake the ingredients vigorously. Garnished with three coffee beans representing health, wealth, and happiness, this cocktail is an invigorating and sophisticated choice for any occasion.
