Why you'll love it
A classic that requires little introduction, the Espresso Martini is a must-have in your home bar for pre- or post-dinner or sipping. Our award-winning version marries silky Ketel One Family Made Vodka with FAIR Cafe Liqueur to create a sumptuous cocktail with a luscious mouthfeel.
FAIR Cafe Liqueur prides itself on directly supporting Mexican coffee farmers through its fair trade initiative, while achieving a complex, full-bodied flavour through its unique production process. The result is a modern Espresso Martini that’s exactly as it should be: rich, robust, and thoroughly indulgent.
The Espresso Martini’s story
The legend goes that one day, a supermodel sidled up to Dick Bradsell’s bar at the Soho Brasserie and requested a pick-me-up cocktail with coffee… Although her exact words were a little spicier (Google it). After mixing vodka, coffee liqueur, a shot of espresso and a little sugar, the Espresso Martini was born. The cocktail’s name may have changed throughout history (the 'Pharmaceutical Stimulant' is our personal favourite), but the iconic combination of vodka and coffee has remained.
