The Espresso Martini is a "Martini" in name only. It was invented sometime in the 80's. Dick Bradsell claims to have invented the drink at Fred's Club in London, England. He says made it for a young lady who asked for a cocktail that would "Wake me up, then fuck me up." This is an Official IBA Cocktail.
