This Espresso Martini Mocktail is an espresso martini for when you need something without any alcohol. The Seedlip Spice 94 gives it complexity to elevate a standard cold brew into something more cocktail-like.
It’s the perfect mocktail to enjoy with brunch when you’ve got plans later on in the day.
Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make a Non Alcoholic Espresso Martini:
- Seedlip Spice 94
- Espresso Blend Cold Brew, chilled
- Simple Syrup
Seedlip makes delicious non-alcoholic spirits. Their original serve makes a killer alternative to a gin and tonic, and I like using Seedlip Spice 94 in seasonal drinks which would benefit from its warming notes of allspice and cardamom.
Use your favorite cold brew concentrate here. I like to use an espresso blend if I can find it.
You can make your own simple syrup or use store-bought sugar syrup.
See the printable recipe card for quantities and full recipe.
Directions
Step 1
Add the cold brew concentrate and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
Step 2
Add the Seedlip Spice 94.
Step 3
Add ice and shake well.
Strain into a coupe glass.
To Serve
Garnish with three coffee beans. Or don’t. Up to you.
Tip
There will be some foam on the top of the glass from shaking. If you don’t like the look, use the back of a spoon and a piece of paper towel to skim it off. I did that for photos, but I wouldn’t care about the foam when drinking.
The Seedlip is flavorful but watery. If you prefer to sip something with a little more body I would consider adding cream to give it more heft.
Variations
- Use flavored syrup – simple syrup is essential to balancing this virgin espresso martini, and you can use it to add extra flavorings. Both my vanilla simple syrup and my vanilla cinnamon simple syrup would be delicious here!
- Up the coffee flavor – if you want an extra hit of coffee sprinkle a little espresso powder over the top of the cocktail for an even fancier finish. A little cocoa powder also gives a lovely effect!
- Make it creamy – add a dash of heavy cream to the cocktail shaker for a creamy finish.
It’s delicious and a fun zero-proof twist on a classic cocktail.
Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll get a bit of a foam on your martini just from shaking the drinks together, but you can guarantee a beautiful white top by shaking a small egg white our a splash of aquafaba together with your drink.
