If you love the bold flavours of an Espresso Martini but wish it fit better with your fitness goals, the MaxPresso Martini is your new go-to cocktail. This version keeps the indulgence of coffee and a kick of vodka but adds a serious protein punch, making it a smarter choice for your macros.
Why you’ll love it:
- High-protein version with ~20g per serving
- Lower sugar than a standard Espresso Martini
- Easy to tweak: skip the optional coffee liqueur to reduce sugar further, or add a zero-calorie sweetener for extra sweetness
- Versatile: turn it into a mocktail by using a flavoured MaxPresso and omitting the alcohol
Ingredients
- 60 ml MaxPresso Protein Coffee (prepared with water)
- 60 ml vodka
- Optional: 20ml coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa, for sweetness & richness)

Step 1: Make the “espresso” base
- Add 30 g (3 tbsp) MaxPresso to a shaker

Step 2: Build the cocktail

- Ice
Step 3: Shake & serve
