The REAL Story of the ESPRESSO MARTINI! with Bea Bradsell

I’m joined by the amazing Bea Bradsell, daughter of legendary bartender and creator of the Espresso Martini, Dick Bradsell. Bea tells me the REAL story of the Espresso Martini (or should I say Vodka Espresso, or perhaps the Pharmaceutical Stimulant?) and we recreate the original recipe as closely as possible.
THE OG ESPRESSO MARTINI
25ml Illy ‘very, very strong espresso’
50ml Polish vodka

Thank you Dan Fellows for bringing along Bea Bradsell the daughter of Dick Bradsell, creator of the espresso martini. Fascinating to learn the thinking behind each component of the espresso martini. I remember those bottles of Tia Maria. I have used Amos Owens craft vodka. I think grain based, I'll have to check. But sadly having made an espresso martini a couple of days ago, down to my last few drops. I have a grape based vodka, which I used to make an excellent coffee liqueur. But now I'm thinking, will it be too light, lack the body of a Polish vodka?

Thanks Keith. I guess the only way is to test the different vodkas and decide your favourite! Tough gig! (But also - drink responsibly!)

@@DANFELLOWScoffeecocktails Amos Owens craft vodka from sugar beet. Down to the last drop. I thought it was excellent. When I checked to see if I could buy (I bought my bottle direct from the man himself) I learnt won Gold at World Vodka Awards.
