Let's chat about a true modern icon, the Espresso Martini. That irresistible mix of coffee and cocktail has captured hearts (and nights out) across Australia and beyond. Here at Manly Spirits, nestled on Sydney's Northern Beaches, we're huge fans. But we also love adding our own coastal twist to the classics.
So, forget shaking and complex steps for a moment. What if your perfect espresso martini, with a cheeky, fruity difference, was ready to pour whenever the mood strikes? Introducing the Manly Spirits Raspberry Espresso Martini Bottled Cocktail. It's the rich, energising cocktail you adore, reimagined with a vibrant raspberry note and bottled to perfection right here in Brookvale. Get ready for your new go-to celebration starter!
A Nod to the Original Legend
Every great drink has a backstory, and the Espresso Martini's is pure legend. Cast your mind back to London in the buzzing 1980s. Bartending maestro Dick Bradsell is working at Fred's Club when a soon-to-be supermodel famously asks for a drink to "wake me up..". Inspired, Bradsell combined vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, and sugar. It wasn't technically a martini, but the name stuck, and its ability to both energise and delight made it a global sensation, travelling from London bars to Aussie shores.
The Manly Twist: Why Raspberry?
While the original Espresso Martini is a classic for a reason, we love a bit of innovation. The cocktail world is always evolving, with bartenders putting creative spins on beloved recipes. We thought, how could we make this iconic coffee cocktail even more exciting, more... Manly?
Enter raspberry. Our Raspberry Espresso Martini Bottled Cocktail takes the rich, smooth foundation of locally roasted Seven Miles coffee, caramel, and butterscotch notes, and adds a delightful twist of steeped raspberries alongside hints of cinnamon and vanilla. It's a flavour profile that's both familiar and surprising – the deep coffee intensity balanced by a bright, fruity lift. It’s complex, delicious, and utterly sippable.
Quality Ingredients, Bottled with Care
A truly exceptional cocktail, even a ready-to-serve one, starts with premium ingredients. That's the Manly Spirits way. We use locally roasted, high-quality coffee and our own expertly crafted spirits to create the base for this bottled delight.
While this specific bottle might be new, our commitment to quality is proven. Manly Spirits Co. is proud to have received numerous accolades across our range of gins, vodkas, liqueurs, and whiskies from prestigious international competitions. You can check out our full list of achievements on our Awards page. It's this dedication to craftsmanship, inspired by our stunning coastal surroundings, that you taste in every sip.

How to Serve:
-
Chill: Keep your bottle nice and cold in the fridge.
-
Pour: Measure out 100ml into a cocktail shaker (or even a clean jar with a lid!).
-
Shake: Add plenty of ice and shake hard for about 10-15 seconds. You want it ice-cold and beautifully frothy.
-
Strain: Pour through a strainer into a chilled martini or coupe glass to catch any ice chips.
-
Garnish (Optional): Pop three coffee beans on top for that classic look (they say it represents health, wealth, and happiness!) or add a fresh raspberry.
It’s genuinely that simple. Effortless elegance, bottled.
