At Van Gogh Vodka, we believe a “shot of espresso” has no place in a tiny white cup. In fact, we prefer ours chilled, straight in a shot glass. Fortunately, we have three espresso-infused vodka options to choose from and we’ll salute each on National Espresso Day, Saturday, Nov. 24 :

• Van Gogh’s Double Espresso® Double Caffeine Vodka is the only caffeinated, espresso-infused 70-proof vodka on the market and its rich, sophisticated flavor and coffee color make it a delicious cocktail in a bottle.
• Van Gogh Espresso Vodka, provides a robust coffee flavor, without the caffeine.
• EspreXXO Ultimo 19/90 provides the ultimate in espresso-infused flavor. At 90-proof and containing the maximum amount of caffeine allowable, it makes a superior shooter and eliminates the need for added mixers or energy drinks.

Celebrate National Espresso Day with a straight shot of espresso vodka or one of these delicious cocktails:
