Dairy-Free Espresso Martini

Prep time: 3 min.

Yields: 1 martini 

It’s summer here in Canada and nothing says summer nights like curling up by an outdoor fire after a day spent at the beach. Lucky for you this Dairy Free Espresso Martini is best served fireside [and with friends!]

What makes this recipe so great? You can prepare it one of THREE ways using whatever Two Bears products you have on hand. The secret ingredient? A dash of maple syrup keeps this drink naturally sweetened. Traditionally, an espresso martini is full of cream [and dairy-filled coffee liquor] but we’ve subbed all of that dairy and sugar for Vodka paired with our plant-based Two Bears Oat.

With 3 different ways to make this drink, it’s like a choose-your-own-adventure, cocktail edition.

1. Use our Vanilla Oat Latte for the base, available in a convenient can or 946ml tetra pack

2. Use a can of our flash brew like our Hazelnut Sea Salt paired with Two Bears Vanilla Oat

3. Use our Unsweetened Oat alongside a shot of freshly brewed espresso made with Two Bears beans
