In a recent taste test of three premade espresso martinis from different brands, the Ketel One espresso martini emerged as the top choice due to its smooth and sweet flavor profile. The On the Rocks espresso martini, while popular at liquor stores, received negative feedback for its overpowering bitterness and odd aftertaste. The Cutwater espresso martini offered a pleasant coffee-forward taste; however, it lacked the overall balance that Ketel One achieved, making it the notable winner among the three. This exploration reveals varying quality and flavor complexities within ready-made cocktails.
The On the Rocks espresso martini was my least-favorite beverage. It started out bold and bitter, then left an odd, lingering, acidic aftertaste.
The Cutwater espresso martini had a tasty, coffee-forward flavor with a nice cold-brew taste and light mouthfeel. It went down easy, but the alcohol could sneak up on you.
The Ketel One espresso martini was the winner because of its smooth, sweet flavor, highlighting how well it balanced the classic espresso martini components.
