Melbourne's second annual espresso martini festival is set to be hosted by Mr. Black this November and will feature an artisanal selection of the popular cocktail. Known for its signature cold brew coffee liqueur, Mr. Black combines the arts of fine craft distilling and coffee brewing into one product that marries great taste with quality.
Taking place inside Melbourne's Everleigh Bottling Co Speakeasy, the brand's espresso martini festival hopes to bring more exposure to the handcrafted drink which is a favorite among both craft cocktail and coffee fans.
"Melbourne's love for good coffee and craft drinking has no bounds, and we're pleased to be able to return again in 2017." said Mr Black's founder Tom Baker when describing the inspiration behind this year's event.
