History

Nicole Salicetti created this drink in New York City, USA, in August 2023. It won the Galliano Espresso Martini Competition. It is said that the Espresso Martini was a favorite of George Michael. His music is considered a major hit out of Great Britain. The song "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" captures the spirit of this cocktail, as Dick Bradsell was inspired to create the original when he was often asked for a drink that would "wake me up but keep me properly buzzed." The use of sherry dries the cocktail, while saline rounds it out. Orange and mole bitters are said to tie all the ingredients together and make the Galliano Espresso shine.
