VINKA | Espresso Martini Cocktail Mixer

The Espresso Martini is a modern classic—born from the simple idea of combining coffee, spirit, and sweetness into something that drinks like a cocktail and a pick-me-up at the same time. What started as a late-night bar request turned into a global staple: dark, aromatic, and silky with a fine foam on top.

VINKA starts with real ingredients and uses a proprietary extraction method to capture the aroma and flavor in a concentrated mixer. Pair it with a simple, easy-to-make base of neutral spirit, water, and sugar, add ice, shake, and you’re pouring an Espresso Martini-style cocktail in minutes—no pulling shots on demand, no coffee liqueur bottles, no extra prep.

In the glass, it shows rich coffee aroma on the nose with subtle cocoa notes, a smooth, rounded sweetness through the mid-palate, and a clean, gently bitter finish that keeps it from feeling heavy. The texture is full and velvety, with that classic shaken crema on top when strained from the shaker. Each sachet mix yields about 10.1 fl oz before ice; after shaking with ice, the finished pour is typically around 12–13 fl oz, depending on how much ice melts.

• Fast & Consistent: Measure, mix, shake, pour—no espresso machine, no coffee liqueur needed.

• Yield: ~10.1 fl oz pre-ice; typically ~12–13 fl oz after shaking (ice melt varies).

• Serve-ready: Just strain into a chilled glass and garnish if desired.

Flavor
Rich coffee, subtle cocoa, balanced sweetness, and a smooth, gently bitter finish.

What You’ll Need
For Standard Preparation: 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar, ice, shaker.

For Slushy Preparation: 5x VINKA Espresso Martini Cocktail Mixer sachets, a 2L-capacity slushy machine, 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit, cold water, granulated sugar.

Directions (per 1 sachet) — 
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.

1. In a shaker or bottle, add 5 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit + 3.5 fl oz cold water.
2. Add 4 Tbsp granulated sugar. Shake or stir without ice to dissolve. (Sweetness: add a little more or a little less sugar to suit your taste.)
3. Add the entire sachet and about 1 cup of ice (a generous handful). Shake 10–15 seconds, then pour and serve.

Note: Ice melt will dilute the drink a bit (that’s normal and intended).

Slushy Directions (2L batch)
Use 80-proof (40% ABV) vodka or neutral spirit.

1. Add 14 fl oz vodka/neutral spirit to the slushy machine.
2. Add all 5 VINKA Espresso Martini Cocktail Mixer sachets.
3. Add about 45 fl oz cold water.
4. Add 1½ cups granulated sugar (24 Tbsp). Mix/recirculate to dissolve.
5. Top with cold water to the 2L / MAX fill line, then run the machine until slushy and serve.

Note: Frozen-drink texture can vary by machine and settings. If it freezes too firm, let it run a bit longer to soften; if it’s too loose, keep chilling until it tightens up.

Serve Suggestion
Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass; garnish with a few coffee beans or a light dusting of cocoa if desired.
