Ingredients in an espresso martini with Baileys

Espresso martini is a vodka martini blended with espresso invented in 1983.

The drink was invented by a bartender at Soho Brasserie in London named Dick Bradsell, who created it for a customer who asked for a drink to wake her up. The coffee machine was right next to the drinks station and the espresso martini was born.

A classic espresso martini contains vodka, kahlua, and espresso. The Baileys Espresso Martini adds Baileys Irish Cream for a creamy element. The ingredients you need are:
