THE 2:1 ESPRESSO MARTINI

The 2:1 Espresso Martini Cheat Code:

5 Reasons it Works.

The Espresso Martini is one of Britain’s favourite cocktails.

It’s also one of the most overcomplicated.

The classic recipe calls for freshly brewed espresso, vodka and coffee liqueur. Great if you’ve got a coffee machine to hand. Less great when you’re hosting friends or just fancy a quick cocktail on a Friday night.

So here’s our cheat code:

2 Parts Conker Coffee Liqueur
1 Part Water
Shake with Ice

That’s it.

No espresso machine. No vodka bottle. No complicated recipe.

Just a consistently great Espresso Martini at home.

Here’s why it works…

1. Conker is the espresso in your Espresso Martini.

Traditional coffee liqueurs sit alongside fresh espresso, adding sweetness and flavour to the cocktail.

Conker takes a different approach – it IS the esspresso.

We use so much real speciality-grade cold brew coffee that Conker doesn’t just complement the espresso – it replaces it.

No flavourings. No coffee extracts. No shortcuts.

Just real coffee.

So when you make a Conker Espresso Martini, you’re not using coffee liqueur as a sweetener.

You’re using Conker as the espresso.

That’s the secret behind the 2:1 serve.

2. We've already done the balancing for you.

Anyone who’s made a few Espresso Martinis knows the challenge isn’t following the recipe.

It’s getting the balance right.

Too sweet or too bitter. Too weak or complete rocket fuel.

Conker already contains the balance of speciality roasted coffee, our distilled British wheat vodka and bittersweet demerara sugar that makes a great Espresso Martini.

So instead of measuring three ingredients and hoping for the best, all that’s left to do is shake.

Less guesswork. More consistency.

Perfect every time.

3. Conker is the vodka, too.

We wanted Conker to have a little more kick in the glass than your typical coffee liqueur.

So we blended our speciality cold brew coffee with our distilled British wheat vodka, creating a comforting 22% ABV and the perfect balance of spirit and coffee.

As a result, Conker already contains all the spirit you need for a great Espresso Martini.

There’s no need to add vodka.

No more multiple bottles.

No more multiple measurements.

Conker combines the coffee, the vodka and the balance in a single bottle.

Which is why all that’s left to do is get shaking.

4. Cold brewing brings out the best in coffee.

Great Espresso Martinis start with great coffee.

That’s why we cold brew ours.

Unlike traditional hot brewing, cold brewing extracts flavour slowly and gently, bringing out more of the coffee’s natural chocolate, caramel and roasted notes while avoiding much of the harsher bitterness.

The result is a smoother, richer coffee flavour that shines through in every Espresso Martini.

It’s one of the reasons Conker doesn’t need flavourings, extracts or other shortcuts.

Just great coffee, brewed properly.
