A. Intro to Coffee Martini

In the realm of cocktails, where creativity knows no bounds, the Coffee Martini stands tall as a delightful fusion of two beloved beverages – coffee and martinis. This luscious libation marries the rich and robust flavours of coffee with the sophistication of a classic martini, creating a drink that’s both stimulating and intoxicating.

B. A Brief History of coffee martini

The Origins of Martinis

The martini, a staple of cocktail culture, has a history dating back to the late 19th century.
It is widely believed to have evolved from other popular drinks of the era, such as the Martinez and the Gin and Vermouth combination.

The Marriage of Coffee and martini

The Coffee Martini, on the other hand, is a relatively recent addition to the cocktail repertoire. It emerged in the late 20th century as bartenders and mixologists began to experiment with blending coffee and traditional martini ingredients.
This innovative concoction provided a fresh twist to the classic martini, offering a delightful fusion of flavours and textures.
