Black Lines Espresso Martini

Produced by our friends at Black Lines, this all-new Espresso Martini features our cold brew coffee, alongside Chase vodka.

Black Lines are an East London-based team who develop delicious bottled cocktails and revolutionary cocktails on tap. Their new Espresso Martini combines Chase field-to-bottle Potato Vodka and our single origin San Fermin cold brewed coffee. The final drink delivers chocolate and caramel on the nose, a creamy, buttery texture on the palate and a smooth bitter finish.

The Black Lines Espresso Martini, crafted by Origin Coffee, represents a unique intersection of specialty coffee and cocktail culture. Produced by Black Lines, this offering is designed to highlight the foundational elements of a classic espresso profile. While coffee-based cocktails often rely on the balance between bitterness and sweetness, this specific blend leans into the comforting, dessert-like qualities of chocolate and caramel.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to consider how these base notes interact with the acidity and body of the underlying beans. For those looking to refine their palate or identify specific nuances within their cup, consulting a flavor wheel can be an invaluable exercise. Generally, espresso-focused roasts are developed to provide a stable, rich foundation that performs well both as a standalone shot and as a versatile component in mixed beverages, ensuring the core flavors remain prominent regardless of the preparation method.
