The espresso martini, a contemporary classic, has become a symbol of sophistication and energy in cocktail culture. Created in the 1980s by renowned bartender Dick Bradsell, it was famously inspired by a patron’s request for something that would "wake me up and mess me up." The original recipe blends vodka, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and a hint of sweetness, delivering a rich, velvety concoction that balances the boldness of coffee with the smoothness of spirits. Over the years, this cocktail has evolved, embracing new flavors and spirits to suit modern tastes.
One such innovation is the use of Chrome Horse Society Tequila, a refined luxury spirit conceived by Jack Morgan, founder of Chrome Horse Society Tequila. Morgan's vision merges his passions for equestrian life, fashion, and world travel with a spirit that resonates with modern sophistication. “Tequila has always been my go-to, yet I found nothing in the market that resonated with the sophistication and forward-thinking aesthetic I envisioned,” Morgan explains. Chrome Horse Society Tequila is crafted with 100% natural ingredients and utilizes advanced triple-distillation technology to create a spirit of unparalleled quality. Its clean, smooth profile, perfect for both sipping neat and mixing, brings an entirely new depth to the espresso martini. The subtle agave notes complement the boldness of espresso, resulting in a cocktail that is as modern and refined as the spirit itself. By merging the traditional elegance of the espresso martini with the innovation and luxury of Chrome Horse Society Tequila, this updated version embodies the modern spirit of tequila and its aficionados, offering an experience that is both daring and exquisite.
