Ready-to-Pour Cocktail Packets

NIO Cocktails' Espresso Martini is Ready to Enjoy with Ice

NIO Cocktails expanded its range of conveniently packaged cocktails with an Espresso Martini that combines Ketel One Vodka and Borghetti Espresso Liqueur. NIO, meaning "Needs Ice Only," appeals to drinkers who want quality experiences without having to rely on special equipment or ingredients. The cocktail packet just needs to be poured into a glass and paired with ice for a perfect cocktail that's mixed in Italy using premium ingredients. The Espresso Martini is said to have rich, dark roasted coffee notes that blend with vodka for a smooth drinking experience.

Packaged at 28.9% ABV, the new Espresso Martini joins other classic NIO Cocktails like the Negroni, Manhattan, Whiskey Sour and the Cosmopolitan. These packs can be purchased as part of a customized box or a curated set of pre-mixed cocktail packs.
