This Espresso Martini Mocktail is a fun drink recipe for coffee lovers! It tastes just like a classic espresso martini, but with absolutely no alcohol and you won’t miss the vodka one bit.
When we host parties, mocktail recipes are the best! I always like to have a non-alcoholic recipe so any kids or non-drinking adults can enjoy some fun as well. This recipe is perfect to add to the list because espresso martinis are a fan favorite!
You can use regular or decaf coffee, or you can replace that with cold brew depending on what you love best. You make your own coffee syrup, so this recipe is a classic sweet martini minus the alcohol! Every person in your home will feel included in this delicious alcohol-free experience.
