The rich, bold flavors of coffee blend seamlessly with vodka’s smooth, clean notes. Together they deliver a decadence and taste sensation that’s just unbeatable.

Here’s five vodka drinks to celebrate International Coffee Day!

Espresso Martini 

Let’s no mess around – when it comes to vodka and coffee drinks, the Espresso Martini is undeniably the first cocktail that springs to mind. Hey, we get it – everyone loves an Espresso Martini, so much so that it topped our list as the most popular cocktail of last year.

Made with Absolut Vodka, Kahlúa (coffee liqueur) and, of course, rich espresso, there’s simply no better coffee cocktail on the planet than the Espresso Martini. Discover the recipe for an Absolut Espresso Martini.

Burnt Toasted Almond

The Burnt Toasted Almond shakes up Absolut Vodka, Amaretto (almond liqueur), Kahlúa (coffee liqueur) cream liqueur, and cream. Sounds incredible, right? Trust us, it is.

Drinks don’t get creamier and more decadent than a Burnt Toasted Almond…or  do they?
