CAFÉ SOLO’s Espresso Martini RTD cans
UK Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur Brand, CAFÉ SOLO, has launched new Espresso Martini cans.
The CAFÉ SOLO Espresso Martini Cans are the second product to launch in the CAFÉ SOLO range after the brand launched its debut CAFÉ SOLO Original Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur to shake up the coffee liqueur market in April 2024.
CAFÉ SOLO Espresso Martini is made with CAFÉ SOLO Original Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur, SOLO Coffee Espresso Strength Cold Brew and Premium British Vodka. Ground with exceptional coffee, SOLO Coffee boasts a ‘full-bodied flavor profile, rich acidity, and a refreshingly clean finish’, making the Espresso Martini cans the ultimate RTD for coffee lovers.
CAFÉ SOLO Espresso Martini Cans are available from Amazon and CAFÉ SOLO’s website at an RRP of £3.99 for a 125ml can.
Developed by former baristas, the brand uses ethically sourced beans from Brazil and Colombia, which are blended and expertly cold brewed to perfection.
At 15% ABV, the CAFÉ SOLO Espresso Martini cans are bar strength quality and produce the desired foam when shaken in the can straight out of the fridge. They can also be shaken in a cocktail shaker with ice.

Espadín Mezcal
Tres Tribus - a B Corp certified, small batch mezcal from the remote mountains of Oaxaca - has released its latest expression, its Espadín.
Hand-crafted by fifth generation mezcalero Juan Antonio Coronel, Tres Tribus’ Espadín is ideal for sipping or in cocktails.
Cooked in an underground conical oven lined with volcanic stones, Tres Tribus’s Espadín captures the cornucopia of flavors from the maguey and complements them with a delicate smokiness. Rich herbaceous notes along with lemon and orange, hibiscus, peppermint and chocolate are slowly developed during fermentation in unique underground amphoras designed to regulate the fluctuating mountain temperatures.
Using water from the nearby Tidaá volcano aquifer and a hand-built still, Tres Tribus’ Espadín presents clean, complex aromas and flavors.
Tres Tribus debuted in 2023 with four expressions that helped the brand win the IWSC Agave Producer of the Year as well as Spirits Producer of the Year.
Tres Tribus Espadín is bottled at 45% ABV and retails for MSRP $49.99.

The perfect pairing: Lisbon art and wine
Portuguese winemaker, Porta 6, is launching Winemaker’s Selection White Wine in the UK.
The new launch joins Porta 6’s range of red, rosé and sparkling wines.
Produced in southern Portugal, this new aromatic white wine originates from vineyards overlooking the Atlantic ocean, and has tropical and citrus lime fruit flavours.
“Although the red wines of Lisbon are hugely popular worldwide, the region has always had a special reputation for white wines within Portugal, said Philip Critchley, associate sales director at Guy Anderson Wines.
“When tasting this new, fruity, easy-drinking blend, it’s easy to see why.”
The label depicts a unique Lisbon image of one of the city’s famous yellow trams, by street artist, Hauke Vagt.
