Espresso Martini

The Espresso Martini is the most-ordered cocktail of the 2020s — vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, and simple syrup shaken violently until the top froths like crema. Dick Bradsell invented it in 1980s London when a young model asked for something that would "wake me up and then f*** me up." It outperforms #8 in caffeine content with 100mg per serving from a single espresso shot. After disappearing for decades, TikTok and millennial brunch culture resurrected it, achieving a 40% higher order frequency than the average cocktail. This revival makes it a modern classic that every home bartender should master.
