We’re Back. Bigger. Bolder. Brewed for 2026.
The Espresso Martini Festival presented by Early Bird Cold Brew Coffee Vodka returns on Saturday, February 7, 2026, and Charleston is about to get its annual caffeine-fueled celebration of pure cocktail joy.
After a sold out inaugural year, we’re giving a double shot of excitement with two sessions, 12–3 p.m. and 6–9 p.m., each limited to 400 guests so every sip, swirl, and sample is easy to enjoy.
Expect 20 top Charleston restaurants and bartenders shaking up their most creative espresso martinis, plus live music, food trucks, and local vendors. Whether you’re here for bold flavor, smooth pours, or the perfect martini photo-op, this is the one day a year where the city runs on espresso martinis instead of caffeine alone.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec 12 at 10 a.m.
The first 50 tickets for each session are 50% off, so set your alarms and stretch those clicking fingers. Last year’s early tickets disappeared faster than a freshly shaken martini.
