The classic Espresso Martini was first created by the legendary bartender Dick Bradsell in the 1980s. His mission was to create a cocktail that combined the rich, robust flavors of espresso with the clean, neutral taste of vodka. Over the years, this iconic drink has evolved, with mixologists experimenting with different spirits to create unique variations.
Our Tequila Espresso Martini brings a vibrant twist to this classic cocktail by swapping vodka for Filo de Agave Blanco Tequila. The result is a drink that highlights the earthy, slightly sweet notes of agave, perfectly complementing the bold flavors of espresso.
