The Espresso Martini: A Global Trend

In recent years, the espresso martini has experienced a real surge in popularity, reinventing itself according to trends and seasons to find its way onto the menus of the trendiest bars and restaurants here and elsewhere. This cocktail, which combines the intensity of espresso with the sweetness of liqueur, has become synonymous with sophistication and pleasure.

Our Quebec Interpretation

Inspired by this global trend, we decided to create our own interpretation of this modern classic, adding a touch of our own. Our version, the Cold Brew Coffee Martini, celebrates the richness and depth of our cold brew coffee, a tasty alternative that offers a velvety texture and nuanced aromas, distinguishing itself from traditional espresso. By adding our local maple syrup, we coat this cocktail with a comforting sweetness.

A Trend That Crosses Borders

This espresso martini trend, which finds its roots in the vibrancy of urban nightlife, has crossed continents to captivate coffee and cocktail lovers around the world. Here in Quebec, it pairs perfectly with our love for quality coffee and our penchant for local products, such as maple syrup.

The Perfect Occasion to Enjoy It

Perfect for an evening with friends, a refined aperitif, or even to close a meal on an elegant note, our Cold Brew Coffee Martini is a celebration of taste and innovation. Through this creation, we invite you to rediscover the pleasure of a classic cocktail, reinterpreted with ingredients that are dear to us, for a truly unique experience.

Savor the difference, one sip at a time.
