Cutwater Cocktails – Martini Espresso

Cutwater Espresso Martini – Bold, Dark, and Energetic

Short History

The Espresso Martini has seen a massive global resurgence, becoming the go-to drink for brunch, dinner parties, and late-night revivals. Cutwater Spirits met this demand by crafting a version that honors the “Cold Brew” movement. By combining their award-winning vodka with a custom-roast coffee blend, they’ve managed to capture the elusive “frothy” texture and deep roasted flavor of a bar-poured martini without the need for an espresso machine or a shaker.

Key Features

• Premium Vodka Base: Crafted with Cutwater’s signature Vodka, distilled 15 times and charcoal-filtered for a clean finish that allows the coffee to shine.

• Bar-Strength ABV: A robust 13% ABV delivers a serious, spirit-forward experience—equivalent to a double-shot cocktail.

• Cold Brew Infusion: Features a proprietary blend of roasted coffee and cold brew, providing a deep, complex caffeine-inspired profile.

• Natural Ingredients: Made with real cane sugar and natural vanilla notes for a balanced, velvety sweetness.

• Creamy Texture: Engineered to deliver a smooth mouthfeel and a light, frothy head when poured vigorously.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: An intense and inviting scent of freshly ground espresso beans, dark chocolate, and a hint of toasted vanilla.

• Palate: Bold and rich. Initial notes of bittersweet cocoa and roasted coffee are followed by a smooth, creamy sweetness and a clean vodka backbone.

• Finish: Long and satisfying with a pleasant roasted bitterness that balances the sugar, leaving a clean, caffeinated tingle.

• Visual: Pours a deep, dark mahogany with a fine, tan crema when served in a chilled coupe glass.

Overall Expression

The Cutwater Espresso Martini is “Sophistication in a Can.” It is the ultimate “Pick-Me-Up” cocktail, offering a rich and “Boldly Roasted” experience that rivals any craft bar. Designed for those who want to transition from dinner to the dance floor—or simply enjoy a luxury nightcap at home—it provides a “Bar-Quality Pour” every time. It is dark, decadent, and unapologetically spirited.
