Detroit Lions, Ferris Coffee, Grit City Spirits Launch Espresso Martini
Last year, the Detroit Lions teamed up with Grit City Spirits to launch a line of Michigan-made alcohol celebrating the city’s grit and loyal fans. Now, just in time for the holidays, they’ve got something new—and another Michigan company is part of it!
Detroit Lions Grit City Spirits Teams Up with Ferris Coffee on Espresso Martini
The Lions, Grit City Spirits, and Ferris Coffee Co. have created a ready-to-drink Espresso Martini. The cocktail blends Ferris Coffee Co.’s Den Dark Roast with Grit City Vodka and a splash of Grit City Bourbon, creating a rich, silky, coffee-forward drink made right here in Michigan.

Ferris Coffee Co.’s COO Sam Mirto says they went with coffee that had notes of dark chocolate and natural sweetness, brewed extra strong so the flavor stands up to the spirits. Most of the beans come from El Vergel, a longtime partner farm in northern Guatemala.

The bottle even nods to Lions history, celebrating the 90th anniversary of the 1935 championship with Honolulu Blue, black, and silver accents.
Holiday Party-Ready
It’s the kind of drink that could make a holiday party feel a little more festive, or could be a fun gift for the Lions fan (and coffee lover) in your life! Because it’s ready to drink, you don’t need to mix anything yourself—just pour over ice, sip, and enjoy.
