📜 History

This modern Australian creation puts a bush tucker spin on the classic espresso martini. Wattleseed, harvested from acacia trees, has been used by Aboriginal Australians for thousands of years. Its naturally roasted, coffee-like flavor with hints of hazelnut and chocolate makes it a perfect complement to espresso, creating a uniquely Australian cocktail experience.
