Who Invented Espresso Martini

Who invented the Espresso Martini?

A guy named Dick Bradsell Invented The Espresso Martini

An intense mix of Martini, coffee liqueur and espresso.

An energising cocktail that’ll keep you going all night.

Dick Bradsell was a bartending Guru who revolutionised the London cocktail scene through the ’80s.

Legend has it that Dick Bradsell invented The Espresso Martini while working at Fred’s Club London in the late 1980s.

A gorgeous model (who’s now world famous apparently) went to the bar and asked Dick for something to “wake me up and f**k me up”.

Dick mixed Martini, Espresso, Coffee Liqueur and a little Sugar the Espresso Martini was born! and has since become a global classic, several fraudsters claim to be the inventors, but we all know it was the legendary Dick Bradsell.
