NEW YORK, N.Y., USA – NightOwl Martini makes its debut this month, featuring a new line of ready-to-drink Espresso Martini canned cocktails.

Both styles contain 12.5% ABV (alcohol by volume), premium real spirits and natural coffee (100mg of caffeine).
The origins of NightOwl spawn from a collective group of entrepreneurs with substantial experience in the hospitality and beverage industry.

NightOwl was born. A classic made convenient, NightOwl is differentiated by quality ingredients and taste. “Our formula is simple – just two shots of espresso, one shot of alcohol, and a hint of vanilla for balanced sweetness.
No malt liquors, no agave wines and no artificial flavors. We like to think of it as espresso martinis in their purest form. Our team was not willing to sacrifice quality or taste to rush to market, and we’re confident that espresso martini lovers everywhere, whether that is a consumer at home, or bartenders at bars and restaurants alike, will welcome NightOwl to the party,” says Kat Huber, Brand Manager, NightOwl Martini.
