Story

After years behind the bar, Melbourne Martini founder Dylan Alexander realised in 2015 that there was a serious gap in the world of cocktails, tapping into that sensation that we all want better, more real premixed options. That spurred him to start bottling (and canning) a range of dead serious martinis that require only a shake to drink.

The Melbourne Martini range started off with Espresso Martini and Salted Caramel Espresso Martini but then traversed into Amaretto Sour, Margaritas and Negroni (and they're delicious). More than delicious, these cocktails have bagged medals all over the globe, showing that it's not just us that love these cocktails.

Importantly, these cocktails remain Melbourne-made, with the Espresso Martini range using locally brewed coffee and vodka as a start, with the range proudly gluten-free and vegan.

This is the cocktail that first made Melbourne Martini and still the best. A blend of vodka, cold drip coffee & organic sugar, this gold medal-winning Espresso Martini manages to have that proper coffee feel to it without being too sweet.

PAIRING GUIDE

Great on its own, as a warmup or a kick-on drink, this martini can power on just fine by itself. Dialling in a coffee or chocolate-tinged dessert is an excellent complement, too, with tiramisu (and vanilla ice cream) our personal fave. Finally, the variety in a classic cheeseboard (complete with quince paste and dried fruit) is also a great friend of this Melbourne Martini creation.
