How to Make the Sacred 7 Espresso Martini
Your next dinner party deserves this elevated non-alcoholic espresso martini that rivals its traditional counterpart but leaves you feeling refreshed instead of depleted. Perfect for coffee lovers who can't get enough of the complex flavors of fresh espresso or cold brew concentrate, this recipe relies on simple ingredients like heavy cream and vanilla extract you already have on hand.
While classic espresso martinis use coffee liqueur and vodka for depth, our virgin espresso martini uses Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder to create an intriguing flavor profile that goes beyond typical mocktail territory.
The key to nailing this drink is in the details: make sure your coffee is properly chilled, shake it like you mean it (that's what gives you the gorgeous foam), and serve it in a proper coupe or martini glass.

The Health Benefits of Mushrooms and Coffee
The magic of this coffee mocktail lies in its powerful pairing of coffee and Sacred 7. While your brewed espresso provides antioxidants and that beloved cognitive boost, Sacred 7 Mushroom Extract Powder works behind the scenes to help your body manage stress more effectively.
Coffee delivers essential nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and vitamin B2, while the adaptogenic mushrooms support immune function, enhance mental clarity, and promote better sleep - something traditional espresso martinis certainly can't claim.
Together, they create a sophisticated drink that not only tastes divine but helps you feel remarkably good the next day. It's the perfect example of how mindful ingredients can elevate both the experience and the aftermath of elegant entertaining.
