A NEFT Vodka Barrel and a glass of Espresso Martini on a bar counter.

Espresso Martini

A closeup of a Bitter, Year Round Espresso Martini drink against a dark background.

For coffee lovers, there’s no better cocktail than a classic Espresso Martini. And the best Espresso Martini starts with the best vodka. Pairing smooth NEFT Vodka and chilled espresso will elevate any evening. A touch of simple syrup offsets the natural bitterness of the espresso, while walnut bitters add to the drink’s depth of flavor. Finally, garnish the cocktail with a trio of coffee beans — traditionally a symbol for health, good fortune, and happiness.
