Tia Maria Coffee Liqueur has partnered with Arling Films on a documentary that honours legendary bartender Dick Bradsell and features insights from his daughter, Beatrice Bradsell
London-based filmmaker Jacqueline Fernandez is set to premiere her debut micro-documentary, ‘Dick Bradsell Espresso Martini’, on March 15th – National Espresso Martini Day. The five-minute film delves into the creation of the now-iconic cocktail, famously invented in 1985 London when a model asked bartender Dick Bradsell to make her a drink that would “wake me up and then fu*k me up.”
The documentary, filmed at The Social – a venue where Bradsell often DJ’d – not only pays tribute to the beloved cocktail but also honours the creative genius behind it thanks to his daughter Beatrice. Renowned bartender Dick Bradsell sought the perfect coffee liqueur for his Espresso Martini, with the final piece of the puzzle ultimately coming from Tia Maria.
