History:
Essentially an Espresso Martini served on the rocks, legendary bartender Dick Bradsell repurposed his coffee 'Martini' when given a list of 20 cocktail names by Damien Hirst for the menu at his new Pharmacy restaurant in Notting Hill where Damien Hirst artwork hung and Dick was bar manager (the site on Notting Hill Gate is now a Waitrose store).
Review:
A real wake-up call and the drink that led to many Espresso Martinis.
