“The Tequila Espresso Martini is a modern variation of Dick Bradsell's legendary Espresso Martini, invented in the 1980s at London's Soho Brasserie. The substitution of tequila for vodka emerged organically as bartenders and consumers experimented with classic recipes during the growing popularity of agave spirits. This variation found particular appeal among tequila enthusiasts seeking a more complex flavor experience than the neutral vodka-based original.”
