Breckenridge Espresso Vodka
Breckenridge Espresso Vodka is a 40% ABV (80 proof) flavored vodka that marries Breckenridge Distillery's clean vodka with rich, roasted espresso. The infusion brings deep notes of dark roast coffee, subtle cocoa, and a hint of natural sweetness — smooth and full-bodied, finishing with lingering warmth rather than bitterness. A purpose-built Espresso Martini base that also pours beautifully over ice. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Coffeehouse Character, Distillery Craft
Espresso vodkas live or die on the coffee: too little and it's a gimmick, too much and it's bitter. Breckenridge lands in the middle — a genuine espresso infusion over a clean mountain-water vodka, with the roast reading as coffeehouse depth rather than candy. It's one of the distillery's long-standing flavored vodka SKUs, built for the cocktail that never went away. Browse vodka or see the full Breckenridge lineup.
Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
The obvious and correct call: an Espresso Martini — vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso, shaken hard. Also excellent over ice as a dessert pour.
