The Best Non-Alcoholic Espresso Martini
This is the quintessential non-alcoholic espresso martini. It is bold, rich, and features that signature frothy top you expect from a high-end cocktail bar.
Whether you are hosting an evening social or planning a date night, this recipe delivers all the classic cocktail vibes without the alcohol. The addition of aquafaba or oat milk ensures a luxurious, velvety texture.
The Secret Ingredient
The base of this drink is our Espresso Martini Infusion Jar. By infusing coffee beans, cacao nibs, vanilla bean, and chicory root in cold brew, you create a deeply complex, sophisticated base.
Note: Each infusion jar yields approximately 30 oz of infused cold brew (enough for about 10 drinks). Because the botanicals are contained in an infusion bag, no straining is required!
