Valentine’s Day, celebrated worldwide on February 14th, is a symbol of love. It is one of the most cherished holidays, whether enjoyed in an intimate setting with the loved one or at special parties dedicated to this romantic occasion. A magical atmosphere, elegant decorations, and an unforgettable evening are the perfect ingredients for celebrating love. In such a setting, an exceptional cocktail can become the highlight of a memorable experience.
If you truly want to impress the clients who choose to celebrate love at your venue, start the night with a perfect cocktail! Forget the classic chocolate boxes and stand out with one of the most requested cocktails on Valentine’s Day: Espresso Martini.
Espresso Martini is a cocktail with a fascinating story. It all began in a London bar in the 1980s. Preparing for a long and exhausting night, a famous supermodel asked the bartender for a unique cocktail. It had to be energizing while also delivering a euphoric sensation, perfect for the party ahead. “Give me something to wake me up and fuck me up,” were the model’s words—rumors suggest it was either Kate Moss or Naomi Campbell. Inspired by her request, the bartender combined strong spirits with the intense aroma of espresso and the subtle sweetness of coffee liqueur. The mixture was chilled with ice and served in an elegant Martini glass, garnished with three coffee beans. The result was an instant success, and Espresso Martini quickly became one of the most popular cocktails worldwide.
This cocktail combines two seemingly opposite elements – the energy from coffee and the relaxation provided by alcohol. This combination is ideal for special evenings, as it enhances good vibes and adds a touch of sophistication. According to the ranking by Drinks International, Espresso Martini is among the best-selling cocktails in the world on Valentine’s Day, thanks to its popularity among couples seeking a unique experience.
At least half of the world’s most renowned bars have included it in their top ten best-selling cocktails for this occasion, making it an excellent choice for those looking to blend elegance with an energy boost in a romantic setting.
