For the love of Espresso Martini

 

“Let’s meet for a coffee”.

“Come over for a coffee”.

“I seriously need a coffee”.

“Ok it’s definitely coffee time”.  

These are phrases that I’m pretty sure 90% of the Australian population say at least once a day, so it’s no wonder that our love for coffee has resulted in the boom of the Espresso Martini.

Brands such as Kahlua have really embraced, and are at the forefront, of this movement.

Kahlua’s National Brand Ambassador, Ben Parton, chatted with Drink Trade editor Melissa Parker about how the combination of coffee and cocktails just works.

“We go out for cocktails with friends and share moments and experiences bonding over them. There’s an underlying link of convivial occasion between coffee and cocktails.

“Another factor is the renaissance of baristas and bartenders plying their trade whilst striving to provide the best service, knowledge and product to their customers. Over the years both coffee culture and cocktail culture has become significantly more specialized with an exponential increase in product awareness, knowledge and choice from both consumers and trade. It’s not surprising that coffee cocktails are so popular right now”.
