Strong. Smooth. Zero compromise.
This isn’t a sweet, iced coffee pretending to be clever. Our Espresso Mocktini is built like a proper cocktail - layered flavour, controlled sweetness, and a bold coffee backbone - with the added advantage of Protein Lab's Coffee Protein delivering real nutritional value.
It’s ideal as a post-training refuel that doesn’t feel heavy, an afternoon performance drink when caffeine matters, or a social, alcohol-free alternative that still feels grown-up. Sharp, cold, and unapologetically coffee-forward.
What You Need:
- 60 ml fresh espresso (1–2 shots — stronger = better)
- 60 ml cold brew or chilled strong coffee
- 1 scoop Protein Lab Coffee Protein
- 15–20 ml simple syrup or maple syrup (optional — adjust to taste)
- ½ cup ice
- 3 coffee beans (to garnish)

Method:
- Brew espresso and allow it to cool slightly.
- Add espresso, cold brew, protein powder, syrup, and ice to a shaker or blender.
- Shake or blend briefly until smooth and lightly foamy.
- Strain into a chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with three coffee beans and serve immediately.
If You Want It Lighter:
- Use ¾ scoop Coffee Protein
- Add 20–30 ml cold water or milk
- Double-strain for a smoother finish
