Bevtek were very excited to be sharing their 'espresso martinis' & 'porn star martinis' on tap at this fantastic conference in Scotland. 

According to legend, a supermodel walked into his bar and asked for something that would “wake her up and mess her up,” and so the Espresso Martini was born. Since then, the popularity of the Espresso Martini hasn’t died down. it is one of the most popular cocktail in many places and we at @bevtek have created a vision of espresso martini that just leaves you wanting more, not only that but you as the employed "seller" can make the perfect espresso martini in less than 30 seconds. 

Then we have the 'Pornstar martini' which is a real modern classic and probably one of the most successful cocktails to have been invented in the 21st century. It's a cocktail that, since its creation in 2002, has found worldwide appreciation. The legendary bartender Douglas Ankrah invented this vodka cocktail behind the bar at The Townhouse Bar in Knightsbridge, London. He allegedly initially named the cocktail the ‘Maverick Martini’, after a dingy club in Cape Town, South Africa. The cocktail quickly gained popularity under the more catchy name of ‘Pornstar Martini’, which alludes to the passion fruit in the drink, again with a nitro cold brew machine you can make the perfect pornstar with a fantatsic cascading effect in just seconds, and the best thing about it? its served completly chilled straight from the machine!!!
