Why Choose Espresso Martinis? Well, there are some drinks that come and go, and then there are those that make a spectacular comeback. Enter the Espresso Martini, once a ’90s icon, now a global obsession. Sleek, bold, and just the right blend of indulgence and energy, it’s the drink of the moment. And if you’re wondering where to try one that truly stands out? Let us introduce you to your next favorite: Nouvelle Vague Tirana.
Why Choose Espresso Martinis: A Classic Reborn
The Espresso Martini has a story worth telling. It was created in 1980s London when a young model famously asked for a drink that could “wake me up and then mess me up.” The result? A mix of vodka, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur, and a velvety layer of crema, served elegantly in a martini glass. It quickly became the signature drink of the nightlife scene.
Today, the Espresso Martini is more than a trend, it’s a statement. It embodies everything we love about modern cocktail culture: refined ingredients, nostalgic flair, and photogenic presentation.
Why Everyone Loves the Espresso Martini

Why Choose Espresso Martinis: A Simple Recipe
We believe in crafting Espresso Martini with both precision and flair. It starts with 45 ml of premium vodka, 30 ml of fresh espresso, and 15 ml of rich coffee liqueur, usually Kahlúa or a house-selected alternative. For a touch of balance, we add 5 ml of house-made simple syrup, though you can request it dry if you prefer a bolder finish. All ingredients are shaken vigorously over ice to create that iconic crema, then strained into a chilled martini or coupe glass. Finally, we garnish it with three roasted coffee beans—a classic symbol of health, wealth, and happiness. The result? A cocktail that’s smooth, energizing, and perfectly indulgent.
