Heirloom Espresso Martini Liqueur is a coffee liqueur built for the cocktail in its name, bottled at 27% ABV. Heirloom Liqueurs grew out of Bittercube, the Midwestern bitters makers, and its liqueurs are produced to Bittercube's specifications at Lawless Distilling in Minneapolis.
It was created after years of testing recipes and sourcing the best coffee: a custom blend of coffees from Ethiopia, Mexico and Papua New Guinea, blended and roasted, paired with vanilla.
The result is rich and roasty, with bright espresso, dark chocolate and a smooth vanilla sweetness that is balanced rather than sugary.
It is designed to make a bar-quality espresso martini easy at home, while being just as good over ice.
In its sleek black bottle with a gold label, it is a stylish gift for any coffee lover.

How to Enjoy It
For a classic espresso martini, shake one and a half ounces of Heirloom with one and a half ounces of vodka and an ounce of freshly brewed espresso over plenty of ice, then strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with three coffee beans. A few dashes of cardamom bitters add a lovely aromatic twist. It is also excellent with tequila in place of vodka, stirred with bourbon for a coffee Old Fashioned, or simply poured over ice with a splash of cream. Pair it with tiramisu, chocolate desserts or biscotti. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
