Ordering a round of espresso martinis? Now you can serve them at home with all the ingredients in one bottle, without the need for an espresso machine.

Cathead Distillery recently launched Hoodoo Espresso, a pre-made bottled cocktail. The short and sweet ingredient list includes Cathead Vodka, Direct Trade Coffee, and Demerara Sugar.

With a shake to add the creamy top layer, you can create a classic espresso martini at home. The 750ml 60 proof bottles each yield approximately eight espresso martinis. You can also use the alcohol in other espresso-based cocktails like an espresso high ball or carajillo.

The Cathead Distillery is the oldest legal distillery in Mississippi. Friends and blues fans Austin Evans and Richard Patrick opened Jackson Distillery in 2010. For nearly 15 years, Cathead has produced award-winning spirits in small batches, including vodka, Bristow Gin, Hoodoo chicory and Old Soul Bourbon whiskey.

To celebrate the launch of Hoodoo Espresso, Cathead Distillery will host a launch party on Saturday. Festivities at this free public event will include live music and craft cocktails. You can also enjoy dishes from local food trucks including Mando’s Tacos, SkennyBurgers and Mr. Turkey Leg.

• When: 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday November 16
