Espresso Martini
The espresso martini, also known as a vodka espresso, is a cold caffeinated alcoholic drink made with espresso, coffee liqueur, and vodka. It is not a true martini as it contains neither gin nor vermouth, but is one of many drinks that incorporate the term ''martini'' into their names. Origin There are several claims for the origin of the espresso martini. One of the more common claims is that it was created by Dick Bradsell in the late 1980s while at Fred's Club in London for a young lady – sometimes claimed to be Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss – who asked for "something to wake me up, then fuck me up". Bradsell has made this claim in a widely-circulated video. Bradsell has also been quoted about the circumstances of his invention of the drink, "The coffee machine at the Soho Brasseries was right next to the station where I served drinks.

A young Spanish girl was forced to flee Jamaica, and the family plantation during a conflict.

In honor of the woman's help, the girl named the liqueur "Tia Maria" (''tía'' is Spanish for "aunt"), her name for the woman who had helped save her life.

List Of Drinks That That Use The Word Martini
The martini is a cocktail made with gin and vermouth, and garnished with an olive, a lemon twist, or both. Over the years, the martini has become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic beverages. A common variation, the vodka martini, uses vodka instead of gin for the cocktail's base spirit. Preparation By 1922, the martini reached its most recognizable form in which London dry gin and dry vermouth are combined at a ratio of 2:1, stirred in a mixing glass with ice cubes, with the optional addition of orange or aromatic bitters, then strained into a chilled cocktail glass.

Ordering a martini "extra dry" will result in even less or no vermouth added. In the Roaring Twenties, it became a common drink order.
