Vegemite, an iconic Australian staple, has captivated the hearts of Australians for over a century. Renowned for its rich, salty flavour, Vegemite has been celebrated for its versatility and unmistakable taste. Pairing this iconic spread with another distinctly Australian favourite, the Espresso Martini, seems like a bold move. Yet, sometimes, it’s the ideas that seem the most unconventional that turn out to be the most delicious. 

Steinbok, an esteemed Australian brand itself, embraces this spirit of adventurous innovation. What better way to celebrate two Australian icons than by combining them into one extraordinary cocktail? The Vegemite Espresso Martini not only unites these symbols of Australian culture but does so in a daringly delightful way.
