Why Bourbon Instead of Vodka?
Swapping vodka for bourbon changes the entire character of an espresso martini. Bourbon brings warmth, subtle sweetness, and a rounder mouthfeel that pairs beautifully with espresso’s natural bitterness. The result is less sharp, more comforting — and undeniably smooth.
Add a touch of maple syrup, and the cocktail gains just enough sweetness to soften the edges without overpowering the coffee or bourbon.

The Secret Is in the Salt
A pinch of Espresso Sea Salt may seem small, but it makes a big difference. Salt enhances the richness of the espresso, balances bitterness, and ties the flavors together for a more complete sip. Think of it as the final seasoning — the detail that turns a good cocktail into a great one.
