Espresso Martini

Appearance: Deep espresso brown with a rich, opaque appearance and a creamy, tan foam when shaken

Nose: Freshly brewed coffee, roasted cocoa, and toasted espresso, softened by sweet vanilla and a subtle caramel-like warmth

Palate: Bold cold brew leads with smooth, roasted coffee flavor and bittersweet cocoa. American Vodka provides a clean, balanced backbone while vanilla gomme rounds the edges with gentle sweetness and a silky texture. Finishes with lingering espresso and soft vanilla.

Espresso Martini flavor profile: coffee, sweetness and vanilla

Our Espresso Martini starts with American Vodka, distilled on-site in traditional pot stills at our Reston Town Center distillery. We pair it with Santa Lucia cold brew and vanilla gomme for a smooth, silky pour, then bottle it ready to serve. At 19.5% ABV in a 375ml bottle, it’s a bar-quality espresso martini without the shaker.
