Ready-to-drink canned cocktail brand Loverboy has announced the launch of its new limited-edition Espresso Martini line, which will consist of two holiday-themed flavors: Peppermint Mocha and Salted Caramel.
Both festive flavors feature high-quality ingredients, including authentic espresso, maple water, sea salt, and MTC oil. With a 12% ABV, each can is the equivalent of two cocktails. However, they remain an indulgent, low-calorie option free of dairy and contain only 3.5 grams of sugar per serving.
The Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini combines chocolate and peppermint to deliver a classically festive beverage. Meanwhile, the salted Caramel Espresso Martini features a blend of sweet caramel and espresso with an added dash of sea salt to create a savory RTD cocktail.
“After selling out of our Espresso Martini three times in the past year, we knew we had to one-up ourselves for the next launch,” said Kyle Cooke, founder, and CEO of Loverboy, in a recent statement.
