Espresso Martini
🥃 Serve in: Cocktail Glass
Vodka and Kahlua's coffee sweetness get a touch of sugar syrup and a genuinely hard shake here, building a distinctive crema on top that mimics real espresso. It was invented in 1980s London when a model reportedly asked for something to "wake me up and mess me up" -- and that origin story fits the drink's whole energy perfectly. It's become one of the defining cocktails of the last decade for exactly that reason.
