Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka is a vodka infused with hazelnut espresso from Crater Lake Spirits in Bend, Oregon, bottled at 25% ABV (50 proof).
Imagine the world's best cup of coffee, deep and rich with no bitterness or acidity, then add hazelnuts and a touch of brown sugar, then vodka.
It is silky and smooth, and it makes the perfect one-step Espresso Martini.
It adds depth and dimension to dessert drinks, and even to desserts: hazelnut espresso tiramisu, anyone?
It is gluten-free and certified kosher. Crater Lake Spirits has made small-batch spirits in Bend, in the high desert of Central Oregon, since 1996, and this coffee vodka is a favourite shortcut for home bartenders who want a great Espresso Martini without an espresso machine.

How to Enjoy It
For a one-step Espresso Martini, shake Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso hard with ice and strain it into a chilled coupe, then garnish with three coffee beans. It is also delicious over ice with a splash of cream as a hazelnut White Russian, in hot coffee or cocoa topped with whipped cream, or poured over vanilla ice cream as an affogato. Use it to soak the ladyfingers in a hazelnut espresso tiramisu. Pair it with biscotti, chocolate hazelnut cake and cannoli. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays. Store it upright in a cool, dark place.
