Coconut Cartel Frozen Martini: A Masterpiece in Mixology
At Sweetbriar, we are always on the hunt for extraordinary ingredients and spirits to elevate your cocktail experience. That’s why, for our Art of the Cocktail class on October 22nd, we’ve chosen Coconut Cartel Rum to star in our Frozen Espresso Martini. This innovative rum stands out for its craftsmanship, sustainability, and unique infusion of coconut water—making it the perfect choice for our award-winning cocktail.
Why Coconut Cartel?
Coconut Cartel is no ordinary rum. Rooted in Latin American tradition, its blends are meticulously crafted in partnership with distillers from Guatemala and the Dominican Republic, two regions renowned for their rich rum-making history. Coconut Cartel’s Añejo blend, aged up to 12 years in charred American white oak casks, offers deep, robust flavors that beautifully complement the essence of an espresso martini. Meanwhile, their Blanco rum, made from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice in the Dominican Republic, brings an aromatic, lively twist to the glass.
This brand’s dedication to sustainability is another reason we’re proud to feature Coconut Cartel at Sweetbriar. From estate-grown sugarcane to onsite harvesting, the distilleries ensure that every step of the process is eco-conscious, minimizing carbon emissions while maintaining the highest quality.
The Coconut Water Secret
What sets Coconut Cartel apart from other premium rums is its unique infusion of fresh coconut water—not for flavor, but for enhancement. Coconut water is rich in natural minerals, salts, and just a hint of sugar, and when blended with spirits, it works its magic much like salt does in cooking: bringing out the best in each ingredient.
Far from creating a "coconut-flavored" rum, this infusion actually brightens the fruity and floral notes of the rum while smoothing out any harshness. The result is a beautifully balanced rum with a complexity that shines in cocktails like our Coconut Cartel Frozen Martini.

At Sweetbriar, we’re always experimenting with new flavors to offer our guests unforgettable cocktail experiences.

This martini will not only awaken your palate but also showcase the creative potential of using rum in espresso-based cocktails. We chose Coconut Cartel for its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and the way it transforms a drink into something extraordinary.
