Café Solo turns to RTDs
Cold brew coffee liqueur brand Café Solo has released a canned Espresso Martini as its first ready-to-drink (RTD) product.
The canned cocktail launch follows the release of the brand’s debut product, the Café Solo Original Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, in April this year. The Café Solo Espresso Martini is made with Original Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, Solo Coffee espresso-strength cold brew, and premium British vodka. Café Solo brand manager Holly Harwood said: “We are really excited to launch our Café Solo Espresso Martini cans in time for summer. We have worked with award-winning Solo Cold Brew Coffee to focus on the quality of the coffee used in the Espresso Martini can, which ensures we deliver the ultimate ready-to-drink Espresso Martini – perfect for coffee and bar-quality cocktail lovers.” Developed by former baristas, Solo Coffee is said to boast a full-bodied flavour profile, with a rich acidity and a ‘refreshingly clean’ finish. It has been supplied to renowned bars and restaurant groups across the UK. Subsequently, Café Solo’s Espresso Martinis offer a ‘bold, punchy kick’ with a subtle sweet finish, where the coffee takes centre stage, which the brand says makes its Espresso Martini cans the 'ultimate RTD for coffee lovers'. Presented at 15% ABV, each can is said to create an ‘impressive foam’ when shaken in the can straight out of the fridge, or for the bartender touch, the cans can also be shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice. Café Solo Espresso Martini cans are available from Amazon and the brand's website at an RRP of £3.99 (US$5.13) per 125ml can. Last year, a Parmesan Espresso Martini went viral after a tutorial on TikTok gained more than 10,700 likes.
