Trends come and go, but Absolut Vodka and Kahlúa Coffee Liquor are ensuring espresso martinis are forever with a new cocktail kit hitting shelves across Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
Just in time for the holidays, the Absolut x Kahlúa espresso martini kit encapsulates the extensive and rich history Absolut and Kahlúa have with the cocktail. The kit is the ultimate holiday companion for consumers who are looking to bring warmth and a touch of elegance to their festive occasion, or searching for the perfect gift for friends and family to spread the holiday cheer.
The Absolut x Kahlúa espresso martini kit includes everything you need to make the bold, decadent and smooth cocktail: one 375 mL bottle of Absolut Vodka, one 375 mL bottle of Kahlúa Coffee Liquor and one 355 mL can of Station Cold Brew. Mix with equal parts, this thoughtfully curated and easy-to-use kit can make up to 12 servings – perfect for sharing!
While the variations of the recipe have changed since the first version was created by British barman, Dick Bradsell, Kahlúa has been the liqueur of choice since its inception in 1983. With its enticing caramel colour, Kahlúa boasts the deep, rich flavour of real black coffee and indulgent sweet butter that compliments Absolut’s hint of caramel and vanilla, to carry this cocktail beautifully.
The kits will be available for purchase online at the LCBO, or in-store at local alcohol retailers in ON, AB and BC. Consumers located outside of those provinces will still be able to make the perfect espresso martini by buying Absolut Vodka and Kahlúa Coffee Liquor at their local alcohol retailer and using the coffee of their choice.
