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.

As the Melbourne Martini crew say, this is 'a drink that tastes like a holiday'. It's tangy, it's juicy, it's salty, with that sweet yet tart contrast coming courtesy of Australian limes with plenty of salt and a little sugar syrup. It's a proper martini, with all its zesty refreshment, that will put you straight into 'fiesta-mode'.

PAIRING GUIDE

Quality margarita in a can is quite a magical thing, that not only feels very modern, but also wildly convenient (especially if you're out and about). We like this as a natural pre-dinner drink served ice-cold, paired with a sense of adventure. Otherwise, it's hard to skip an array of Mexican tidbits here, from tacod and enchiladas to bean fajitas and plenty of crunchy nachos.
