Espresso Mocktini

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:

1. Brew espresso and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Add espresso, cold brew, protein powder, syrup, and ice to a shaker or blender.
3. Shake or blend briefly until smooth and lightly foamy.
4. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
5. 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
