    The Espresso Martini was created in the 1980s by British bartender Dick Bradsell at the Soho Brasserie in London. A customer asked for a drink that would "wake me up and then fuck me up", which inspired Bradsell to combine vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur and sugar syrup. Originally called the 'Vodka Espresso,' it later became known as the Espresso Martini.
