If there’s one person who has been having the year of her life, it’s Sabrina Carpenter. Between opening up for Taylor Swift on her whirlwind Eras Tour, garnering three Top 10 hits from her acclaimed sixth studio album Short n’ Sweet, and landing six Grammy nominations, she has been booked and busy (rightfully so.) And while at this point she’s the voice behind numerous earworms (her latest hit “Taste” is currently playing on a loop in my headphones as I write this), there’s one song that we all couldn’t stop singing this year: “Espresso.”  

“Espresso” took hold this summer like no other song, spawning everything from fun merch and memes to a viral phrase (“That’s that me espresso”) and even an ice cream launch. Now, it’s led to the ultimate collaboration: Sabrina’s very own cocktail kit — inspired by her tour’s official drink — the aptly named Short n’ Sweet Espresso Martini Cocktail Kit

What is the Short n’ Sweet Espresso Martini Cocktail Kit? 

When Carpenter launched her Short n’ Sweet tour back in September, fans went wild for the production, the surprises, and the tour’s exclusive espresso martini. Designed to let you bring the delicious drink home, this kit — made in partnership with the tour’s official spirit sponsors Absolut and Kahlúa — comes with everything you need to enjoy the drink like the hit songstress herself. Inside, you’ll find a bottle of Absolut vodka, a bottle of Kahlúa, Owen’s Espresso Martini Mix, a coupe glass with a festive red ribbon, and Sabrina’s iconic kiss mark as an edible cocktail topper. Sabrina truly “dream-came-trued it for ya” with this one.

While this kit is definitely a great way to spoil yourself (I personally can’t wait to pick one up myself), it’s also something we could see making a great gift for Sabrina Carpenter and espresso martini fans alike, not to mention a surefire hit at your next holiday get together as y’all enjoy Sabrina’s new holiday special. No matter which way you choose to enjoy it, we’re sure you’ll be in everyone’s good graces with this kit in tow. Cheers!
