Legend has it that Soho Brasserie bartender Dick Bradsell invented this drink in the late 80s, for a model who waltzed into his bar and demanded something that would “wake me up, and then fuck me up.” Consider yourself warned!
Real espresso is ideal – regular drip coffee is simply too weak and watery to provide the strong backbone this drink requires.
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a few coffee beans, placed gently atop the foam.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
