Ketel One Espresso Martini Amsterdam

The scoop

Spotted something interesting in the spirits aisle: Ketel One Espresso Martini is hitting clearance racks, and this ready-to-drink cocktail could be worth grabbing if you’re into convenient entertaining.

This is Ketel One’s pre-mixed espresso martini in a 750ML bottle, which means you’re getting that coffee-forward vodka cocktail without the shaker, the measuring, or the messy cleanup. It’s a collaboration between the Dutch vodka brand and coffee experts, designed to deliver that classic dessert-cocktail vibe straight from the bottle to your glass over ice.

At 750ML, you’re looking at enough for about 5-6 servings depending on how generous you pour. Whether this is a solid deal depends on what you typically spend on cocktail ingredients or bar prices—an espresso martini out can easily run $12-15, so if you can snag this at clearance pricing, the math might work in your favor. That said, ready-to-drink cocktails are hit-or-miss for some folks who prefer the freshly-made version.

The clearance tag likely means Costco is either making room for new seasonal inventory (we’re heading into spring, after all) or this particular SKU didn’t move as quickly as expected. Ketel One isn’t going anywhere as a brand, but specific ready-to-drink varieties can be regional tests or limited runs. If your warehouse has it marked down, they probably won’t restock it, so grab it now if you’re curious.

If you’re someone who orders espresso martinis when you’re out but never bothers making them at home, this could be your lazy-host solution. Have you tried Ketel One’s ready-to-drink cocktails before, or are you Team Fresh-Made-Only?
