Mr Black Espresso Martini Festival - 19th - 20th September

Lovers of the Espresso Martini, rejoice! From September 19th to 29th, the Mr Black Espresso Martini Festival is making its grand return to celebrate one of the UK’s favourite cocktails in spectacular fashion. Sponsored by Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, this year’s festival promises to be bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever before. Bringing unique takes on the Espresso Martini to some of the country’s hottest bars and restaurants.

This 10-day celebration of the much-loved coffee infused cocktail will take place in over 75 venues across the UK, each with its own spin on the ever popular Espresso Martini. Expect creative takeovers, exclusive one-off serves, and indulgent pairings that will take this iconic drink to new heights. From London to Leeds and Glasgow, top bartenders will be shaking things up, creating fresh, bold, and delicious variations.

One of London’s cocktail artists, Giorgia Di Stefano of Demon Wise & Partners, will be serving up “The Cool One”—a delectable blend of Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, Coole Swan Irish Liqueur, Vodka, Espresso, and Sugar Syrup.

For those who enjoy the art of cocktail making, expect techniques like clarification, carbonation, smoking, infusing, and foaming, as some of the UK’s best mixologists serve up innovative espresso cocktails that are as stunning as they are sippable.

Each venue was hand-picked by Mr Black’s team, using their expert coffee and cocktail knowledge to create an exceptional experience. From trendy bars to cozy cocktail dens, the participating spots will spotlight Mr Black’s Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, which stands out with its rich, robust flavour profile. Crafted from specialty-grade Arabica coffee and premium Australian vodka. Mr Black delivers a smooth, balanced taste with every sip, making it the go-to liqueur for an outstanding Espresso Martini.
