The Espresso Martini has cemented itself as the cocktail of the decade. But the secret to a truly great one isn't just good espresso — it's the right vodka. TAG Double Espresso Vodka from Maverick Distillery infuses espresso directly into the vodka for a richer, darker, more coffee-forward cocktail than anything made with plain vodka.

What Makes TAG Double Espresso Different?

Most recipes rely on a fresh shot of espresso. TAG Double Espresso carries that coffee character in the vodka itself — every sip is concentrated and deeply satisfying. Made in Oakville, Ontario, available for online delivery across Ontario.

The Classic TAG Espresso Martini

Ingredients: 1.5 oz TAG Double Espresso Vodka, 0.5 oz coffee liqueur, 1 chilled espresso shot, 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional).

Method: Shake all ingredients hard over ice for 20–30 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with three espresso beans. The harder you shake, the better the foam.

4 Espresso Martini Variations to Try

1. Salted Caramel Espresso Martini

Add 0.25 oz caramel syrup and a pinch of fleur de sel. Shake and strain as usual. Drizzle caramel over the foam. Rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced.

2. Vanilla Espresso Martini

Swap simple syrup for vanilla syrup and add a small splash of cream. Softer and warmer — great for those who prefer something a little less bitter.

3. Iced Espresso Martini

Skip the shaker. Build directly over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Stir gently. Minimal effort, maximum enjoyment.

4. Dirty Chai Espresso Martini

Add 0.5 oz chai syrup instead of simple syrup. Shake hard and strain into a coupe. Cinnamon stick garnish. A spiced winter-ready twist.
