Espresso Martony campaign asset with chocolate espresso glass

BREAKING NEWS (literally):
Espresso Martinis just got edible.

Introducing the Espresso Martony. Sip it, bite it… or why not both?

This April, Kahlúa and Tony’s Chocolonely have teamed up to create the ultimate treat: the Espresso MarTony—a deliciously indulgent Espresso Martini served in a glass made entirely of milk chocolate. Yes, really.

With half the nation on the hunt for the perfect indulgence—and Fridays being the most popular day to treat yourself—this never-seen-before creation brings together two of the UK’s most beloved pleasures: rich chocolate and irresistible cocktails. Inspired by research revealing that 1 in 4 Brits feel they don’t treat themselves enough, the Espresso MarTony is here to change that. Your Friday night fix just got a seriously sweet upgrade.

Did you know 1 in 4 Brits say they don’t treat themselves enough?

We’re here to change that. The Espresso MarTony is crafted for those who want to savour every last drop—and bite—of their drink.

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.

Craig van Niekerk, VP of Marketing for Kahlúa, 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!”

About Kahlúa

Originating from Mexico in 1936 and made with 100 per cent Arabica coffee beans, Kahlúa remains the world’s leading coffee liqueur¹. Its global popularity was inspired by the famous Kahlúa Ladies, the game-changing women-only management team that began to spread the word of this rich-tasting drink to the US and beyond in the 1960s. Every bean of coffee used to make Kahlúa is grown in shade plantations of eight remote farming communities in the Mexican coastal region of Veracruz. It’s a relationship the brand has nurtured and continues to do so. We work closely with farmers to help them adopt more sustainable farming methods and improve their living conditions. Today, the 300 tons of premium-grade green coffee used every year for Kahlúa is sourced following our partner Fondo Para la Paz’s three-pronged approach to sustainable development
