The Espresso Martini Punch scales Dick Bradsell's influential 1983 London creation — the espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and sugar cocktail that became a global phenomenon — into large-format punch bowl service for corporate events, dinner parties, and coffee-themed gatherings. The challenge of scaling the Espresso Martini is maintaining the characteristic frothy crema that defines the individual cocktail, which is achieved through vigorous shaking but difficult to replicate in a static punch bowl. Large-format versions typically use cold brew coffee concentrate for consistent strength and smooth extraction, combined with coffee liqueur, vodka, and simple syrup. The punch became particularly popular for after-dinner service at events where guests desired a caffeinated cocktail option that would sustain the evening's energy.
