Espresso Martini
Espresso Martini is a a mix of vodka, coffee liqueur and espresso. The cocktail invention goes to British bartender Dick Bradsell.
He invented the drink at a club in the 1980s when a patron came up to him asking for a drink that would both wake him up and get him drunk.
He is credited with revolutionising the cocktail scene in London, through his work at bars such as The Player, 6 Degrees and Match. Bradsell is also credited with the invention of modern classics like the Bramble.
Apple Pie Fizz
My "Your Choice" Cocktail.
The "Apple Pie Fizz" is a modern, seasonal variation of the classic "fizz" cocktail with no established, singular historical origin story. Instead, it emerged as a contemporary, autumnal drink, leveraging the traditional "fizz" structure and the comforting, popular flavors of apple pie.
Fizz cocktails, born from the American evolution of the Gin Fix in the 1800s, are bubbly, refreshing drinks defined by citrus, sweetener, spirit, and soda, with iconic variations like the creamy Ramos Gin Fizz (New Orleans, 1880s) and the egg-enriched Golden/Silver Fizzes, popularising across the U.S. through the early 20th century as a lighter, sparkling alternative to still punches, adding a frothy, celebratory feel with ingredients like egg white or yolk for texture.
Margarita
The creation of the Margarita is often attributed to some crafty marketing moves from industry folk, specifically tequila manufacturers, around the 1940s.
In truth, we’ll never really know where it originated. The provenance of this drink can never be truly verified, but it’s likely it was a product of the US/Mexico border regions between the 1930s and early 1950s.
Gin Fizz
The Gin Fizz, a sparkling cocktail of gin, lemon, sugar, and soda, evolved from earlier "Fix" drinks in 19th-century America, gaining fame in the 1870s, especially with variations like the frothy egg-white-infused Silver Fizz or the rich Golden Fizz, but its most iconic form, the elaborate Ramos Gin Fizz, was invented in New Orleans around 1888 by Henry Charles Ramos, becoming a sensation known for its incredibly foamy texture and lengthy shaking time.
Cosmopolitan
The origins of the Cosmopolitan cocktail can be a little fuzzy. There are at least 3 people who claim to have invented the Cosmo. The most popular theory is that it was created by Cheryl Cook, the Martini Queen of South Beach, in the 1980s.
Cook was surprised by how many people ordered the classic Martini cocktail, just to be seen with the glass in hand. So, she decided to create a new drink that was similar to the Kamikaze but used cranberry juice rather than lime juice in order to sweeten the taste, look visually pleasing and appeal to more women.
Long Island Iced Tea
Robert "Rosebud" Butt, a bartender working at Oak Beach Inn on Long Island, New York, in the 1970s is a potential invention point of Long Island Ice Tea. Butt claims to have invented the Long Island Iced Tea during a cocktail competition where the goal was to create a new drink using triple sec. His creation combined five white spirits with lemon juice and cola, resulting in a surprisingly balanced flavour despite the drink's potency.
