Description
The single-ingredient decaf espresso martini, in a box. 700ml GRADA 02 Midnight Decaf in collaboration with Decaf Co, a stainless shaker, a custom hand-blown Japanese coupe and the GRADA recipe book. The drink you can have at 11pm and still sleep.
Caffeine is the barrier between you and a third espresso martini. GRADA 02 Midnight Decaf removes it. Without compromise.
The single-ingredient espresso martini
Most espresso martinis take three things: an espresso shot, a vodka pour and a coffee liqueur. GRADA 02 Midnight Decaf collapses all three into one bottle. Decaffeinated. Shake 100ml over ice for 5 seconds, strain into a chilled coupe. That is the cocktail.
In collaboration with Decaf Co
Decaf Co (Bonacci Coffee) are Australia's specialty decaf people. They roast nothing else. Six months of development to land on a single bean that holds up against an espresso martini with no apology — their Mexico Organic, on a custom roast profile, Swiss Water decaffeinated.
No chemicals. No solvents. 99.9% caffeine-free. Hot extracted at 93°C and blended with Australian vodka. Made in Melbourne.
The liqueur body is the same. The drink is the same. The morning is different.
The kit pairs the bottle with a stainless shaker, a hand-blown Japanese coupe and the GRADA recipe book. The coupe is the right shape for an espresso martini. The recipe book has the serves we actually pour at home and in the trade.
Gift this to someone who used to drink espresso martinis and stopped. Or someone who never started because of caffeine. Or someone who hosts after dinner and wants the table to keep going.

Specifications
How do you make an espresso martini with GRADA?
Add 100ml GRADA to a shaker.
Shake hard with ice.
Fine strain into a chilled coupe.
That’s it.
No vodka.
No fresh espresso.
No added sugar.
Do I need to add vodka?
No.
GRADA already contains alcohol. It is bottled at 16% ABV, intentionally calibrated to produce a bar-quality espresso martini.
When shaken with ice, it dilutes to approximately 12% ABV, which is standard bar strength.
You do not need higher ABV vodka to correct it. The balance is already built in.
Do I need to add fresh espresso?
No.
GRADA is perfectly balanced on its own. No additional coffee or sugar is required.
Can I drink GRADA neat?
Yes.
Serve over ice in a short glass with a cube. Think espresso martini flavour, without the shake - convenient and sessionable.
Is GRADA cold brew?
No.
GRADA is hot extracted using a full immersion method, allowing us to use less sugar while maintaining depth and structure.
Is GRADA caffeinated?
Yes.
It contains natural caffeine at roughly the level of a standard long black.
Why doesn’t GRADA taste as sweet as other coffee liqueurs?
Because it is not designed to be syrup.
It is built coffee first, with balanced ABV and sugar so it performs on its own.
Where is the coffee sourced from?
Specialty grade coffee from Minas Gerais, Brazil, specifically Fazenda Pinhal.
Shelf life and storage?
Unopened bottles are shelf stable for over 12 months.
Once opened, best consumed within 12 months. Refrigeration is recommended but not required.
On the rocks, or shaken over ice for an espresso martini, either way superb and a party favourite at our house. Going to buy more, yum yum yum!!
