History: Back in the 1980s, a bartender had a surprising encounter with a famous supermodel who really wanted a drink. To please her, he whipped up something special: a mix of fresh espresso, vodka, Kahlua (which is a coffee-flavored liqueur), and a bit of sugar. After shaking it all together and pouring it into a fancy glass, he created a drink that became famous worldwide—the Espresso Martini. Since then, it's been a favourite for people who enjoy a little kick of coffee with their cocktails.
Ingredients:
- 50 ml Baileys Original Irish Cream
- 50 ml freshly brewed espresso
- 25 ml Absolut vodka
- Coffee beans or alternative garnish option (e.g., cocoa powder) for garnish
