Sophisticated, enticing, and unexpectedly strong, the Kahlua espresso martini is a great way to start your weekend.
The story of the creation of this drink rumors that a supermodel, exhausted from a long day on the runway stopped into a bar in London’s Soho district. She asked the bartender for something a little different, something unexpected. Luckily for her, the person behind the bar happened to be a famous barman internationally know for his bartending skills. The model loved the drink, and soon the word was out. Fashion magazines covered the story, and the drink soon became popular in the fashion business, being called “The drink of style”.
