When it gets hot outside, we at DrinkThat want cold coffee cocktails. The classic espresso martini works all year, but summer needs something extra. We’ve tried many recipes in our test kitchen and picked five cool versions our customers love.

Coconut Pineapple Espresso Martini

This drink feels like a beach vacation. We mix fresh espresso with coconut rum and a splash of pineapple juice. The coconut makes the coffee smoother, and the pineapple adds enough fruit flavor. We put a thin slice of pineapple on the glass edge, ready for your backyard party. Want to try making it at home? Check out our bottled espresso martini as your perfect starter.

Orange Zest Espresso Martini

When the weather gets sticky, this bright drink cools you down. We add a bit of orange liqueur to our basic espresso martini and squeeze fresh orange peel over the top. The citrus oils mix with the coffee smell and make each sip exciting. The orange cuts the strong coffee taste, so it’s not too heavy for hot days.

Muddled Mint Espresso Martini

Fresh mint cools any summer drink. We crush mint leaves with sugar syrup before adding the coffee and alcohol, then stick a mint sprig on top. The cool mint feeling is perfect when it’s hot outside. The plant flavor brings out things you would otherwise overlook in the coffee. Not sure about mint and coffee? Food & Wine agrees it’s a winning combination.

Summer Berry Espresso Martini

Raspberries and coffee might sound weird together, but they work. With the other stuff, we put a spoonful of berry puree in our shaker. You get a pink drink with a little sweet-sour kick, making the coffee taste even better. It doesn’t taste like your regular coffee shop drink, so people return for more.

Over-Ice Espresso Martini

Sometimes the easy way works best. We use the same espresso martini recipe, but pour it over ice cubes instead of in an empty glass. This small change makes a big difference when it’s hot out. The drink stays cold longer, and you can sip it slowly without it getting warm. Check out our Where to Buy page to find our bottled version near you.
