Underground Spirits has united with The Grounds Roastery to unveil its new Natalie Anne Caramel Vodka Espresso Martini, a collaboration with award-winning hair artist, Natalie Anne.

Canberra-based boutique distillery, Underground Spirits, has combined its sweet Caramel Vodka sweetness with The Grounds’ roasted espresso to create this bottled Espresso Martini, ready to serve with just a shake.

Underground Spirits Australia CEO Claudia Roughley said the cocktail was crafted with only the finest ingredients, featuring a well- balanced blend of single-origin beans from The Grounds Roastery Coffee and Underground Spirits own award-winning Caramel Vodka. 

“Our vodka is meticulously crafted with the finest caramel from Queensland, ensuring unsurpassed smoothness and indulgent caramel notes.

“By partnering with Natalie Anne, we are able to deliver a professional-quality cocktail to hair salon customers, at-home stylists, and anyone who seeks effortless elegance and enjoys a night out."

The Caramel Vodka Espresso Martini officially debuted at the Natalie Anne Glam Suites, hosted at The Eveleigh at The Grounds during the first three days of Sydney Fashion Week. 

“This immersive event brings together beauty, creativity, and luxury, featuring an exclusive line-up of influencers, celebrities, and industry insiders who will be styled to be front row ready, all while enjoying our Espresso Martini one sip, one makeover at a time,” said Natalie Anne.

Each Natalie Anne Caramel Vodka Espresso Martini 700ml bottle serves up seven cocktails, now available at undergroundspirits.com.au or natalieanne.com.au for RRP $59.
