Kahlúa and Tony’s Chocolonely have teamed up to create the ultimate Easter treat: the Espresso MarTony – an Espresso Martini served in a glass made entirely of milk chocolate.
Yes, really. But sadly it’s only available in the UK … maybe we should start an Aussie petition?
The cocktail’s creation was inspired by research revealing that one in four Brits feel they don’t treat themselves enough.
To launch the Espresso MarTony glass and cocktail, sustainable chef and social media sensation Lagom Chef stars in a cheeky film, serving up the Kahlúa Espresso MarTony glass to an unsuspecting customer, who debates whether to sip or bite.
Kahlúa VP of Marketing Craig van Niekerk said: “Indulgence should be sweet, so we’ve teamed up with Tony’s Chocolonely to stop Brits feeling torn between their two favourite treats. With the Kahlúa Espresso MarTony, we’re stirring up the best of both worlds so cocktail lovers can enjoy their creamy cocktail and the glass itself. Will you sip, or will you bite? Why not both!”
The limited-edition chocolate glass will be exclusively available at Dirty Martini Bishopsgate from 18-21 April. The first 10 customers to order a Kahlúa Espresso MarTony on each day will receive an Espresso Martini served in a Tony’s Chocolonely milk chocolate MarTony glass.
And for those choc-tail lovers who can’t swing by Bishopsgate, the Kahlúa Espresso MarTony cocktail will be available at Dirty Martini venues across the UK from 17 April for one month.
Aussies can make their own version of the cocktail – sans edible glass – using the recipe below.
