Hazelnut Espresso Martini (Non-Alcoholic)
An espresso martini is that perfect middle ground between a coffee and a cocktail—smooth, rich, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat. Whether you’re winding down after dinner or starting the evening with something a little special, it always delivers.
This Hazelnut Espresso Martini Mocktail takes the classic to a whole new level, blending the deep, roasted coffee flavours of Lyre’s Coffee Originale with fresh espresso, velvety almond milk, and sweet hazelnut syrup. The result? A creamy, nutty, and satisfying mocktail that delivers the same espresso kick—without the buzz.
If you love coffee or dessert-inspired drinks, this one’s for you. Let’s dive in!
Like Your Favourite Latte, But So Much Better
This is more than just a coffee mocktail—it’s a balanced blend of bold espresso, toasted hazelnut, and creamy indulgence. The depth of freshly brewed espresso creates a strong foundation, while the sweet nuttiness of hazelnut syrup and the smooth texture of almond milk add layers of warmth and richness.
The magic touch? Lyre’s Coffee Originale, a non-alcoholic spirit that captures the essence of coffee liqueur with its deep espresso, cocoa, and subtle spice notes.
A great Espresso Martini is all about contrast—this alcohol-free version delivers the same full-bodied intensity without overpowering sweetness or the sharpness of alcohol.
Ingredients & Health Benefits
This non-alcoholic beverage is built on rich, bold flavours and high-quality ingredients. Here’s what makes it so satisfying:
🥃 Lyre’s Coffee Originale – A non-alcoholic coffee liqueur with deep espresso, spice, caramel, and toasted nut flavours, finished with a hint of vanilla. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
☕ Fresh Espresso (or Cold Brew Concentrate) – A natural source of antioxidants and caffeine, espresso helps boost energy and focus while giving this mocktail its signature depth and richness.
🌰 Hazelnut Syrup – Adds a smooth, nutty sweetness that perfectly complements the coffee’s roasted notes. Some syrups contain natural extracts, enhancing the drink’s overall balance without overpowering it.
🥛 Almond Milk (or Oat Milk) – Almond milk is naturally high in vitamin E, supporting skin health, while oat milk provides a smooth texture with added fibre for gut health.
🍫 Chocolate Shavings or Toasted Hazelnuts – A final touch that enhances flavour and texture. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids that support heart health, while toasted hazelnuts bring extra antioxidants and crunch.
This is a rich, café-style indulgence—without the alcohol, but with all the flavour.
Time to Shake it Up!
1️⃣ Brew your espresso – Fresh espresso is ideal, but cold brew concentrate also works for a smoother, less acidic taste. Let it cool slightly.
2️⃣ Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add:
- 45 ml Lyre’s Coffee Originale
- 30 ml fresh espresso (or cold brew concentrate)
- 15 ml hazelnut syrup
- 15 ml almond milk (or oat milk for extra creaminess)
3️⃣ Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
4️⃣ Strain into a chilled martini glass for that signature velvety finish.
5️⃣ Garnish – Sprinkle crushed toasted hazelnuts or chocolate shavings on top for an added touch of indulgence.
Sip and enjoy!
