Espresso Liqueur

Category: Coffee Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 30%
Dark brown color. Aromas and flavors of roasted cocoa nibs and cinnamon, chicory, scorched multigrain toast, and espresso bean with a syrupy, vibrant, moderately sweet medium body and an engaging, medium-length finish revealing shades of dark roast coffee, chicory, toasted seeds, and black walnut. Great dark roast espresso aromas and flavors with a dollop of brown sugar sweetness; good on its own but definitely a primo choice as a modifier.

Coffee liqueurs, made with coffee and alcohol, are some of the most popular liqueurs in the world. Producers in countries around the world craft versions, from Ireland to Italy to Mexico. A basic type is creme de cacao, made from the extract of cocoa beans, while others coffee liqueurs are famed as particular brand names. Alcoholic content ranges from 18% to 30%.

Coffee liqueurs can be served hot or cold, neat or over ice or served with cola or, of course, coffee. They also serve as the base for famous cocktails such as a White or Black Russian.
