Moth is widening the espresso martini habit with a caffeine-free canned version for drinkers who want the coffee-cocktail ritual without the late-night jolt. The London ready-to-drink brand's Moth Decaf Espresso Martini keeps the familiar serve while dropping the stimulant that can turn an after-dinner drink into a wakeful one.
Built around cold-brewed decaffeinated coffee, the cocktail stays close to the dark, roasted profile people expect from an espresso martini instead of reading like a lighter spin-off. At 14.9% ABV, it still lands like a proper cocktail, so the tradeoff is about caffeine rather than strength.
Its UK rollout through Sainsbury's gives Moth shelf space in a grocery chain, putting the can in front of home drinkers at the point of purchase rather than only in bars. The £4 price keeps the trial cost low as the brand pushes further in the UK and US after securing £11 million in investment.
