coffee liqueur - Cocktail Detour

Montgomery Slugger

A drink for the elegant-minded - made with top quality sweet vermouth, bourbon and several other good stuff in small quantities. The absinthe rinse leaves so much flavour despite being discarded, and Falernum is such an exotic and nice way to sweeten a drink. Then coffee and walnut liqueurs deepen those earthy notes, resulting in this much complex but easily enjoyable drink. (Don't forget the pinch of salt, a much important ingredient to balance those sweet notes).⁠ Recipe Ingredients: 0,5 oz

Speaking in Tongues

Seeing Candide at the Royal Swedish Opera a few weeks ago was fantastic. It's a comic opera, and there was no shortage of funny costumes and surprising lyrics.⁠ ⁠ But we just couldn't resist bringing a flask cocktail. This one by Chris Hannah is absolutely delicious, and it worked well as a pre-batched drink. We've always liked the combination of tequila and mezcal, and in here the added amaro and coffee tones really complement the whole experience.⁠ ⁠ The glass? It's collapsable and it fits any

Meet me in the Morning

Sure, it's not really morning when we post this. But this cocktail can certainly be enjoyed also at evening time. It is of course the coffee liqueur, and the serving in cups that justify the cocktail's name.⁠ ⁠ The coffee liqueur mixes very well with the walnut liqueur. Both have quite distinct flavour profiles on their own, but they still play very well together in the same cocktail.⁠ ⁠ So, good morning, and cheers!⁠ Meet me in the Morning Recipe by Kyle Jones Ingredients: 1 oz dry gin⁠ 1 oz

Revolver

We were kindly gifted a sample of “Balvenie Stories, The Sweet Toast of American Oak” - a whisky aged for 12 years. After a straight sip we also decided we wanted to use it in a cocktail. However with such a characteristic and high quality whisky we really wanted to make a cocktail in which the whisky was the defining ingredient.⁠ ⁠ And the Revolver cocktail was the answer. In one way it can't get more simple - just whisky, coffee and bitters. On the other hand this is such a complex cocktail wi

Hug from Mary

This price winning cocktail is pretty amazing. First of all, it combines rum and beer! And as if that wasn't enough there's also coffee liqueur and sherry in the mix.⠀ Having your mum try this cocktail is a lot of fun. At first she's scared . . . because there's dark beer in it and she only likes light beer. But then on the other hand she's been to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin Ireland, thoroughly enjoying the experience. On top of that she really likes all things coffee, and rum happens

River Styx

The combination of coffee and chocolate paired with whisky is what make this recipe stand out. It’s a wonderful after dinner drink, even having the potential of replacing a desert. Allspice dram, or pimento liqueur is extra fitting this close to Christmas. It tastes a bit of ginger bread, and it’s very strong in flavour. Hence just adding a dash like in this recipe still impacts the cocktail quite a lot. River Styx Recipe by David Kinsey Ingredients: 2 oz bourbon 0,25 oz coffee liqueur 0,25 o

Tobacconist

Almost tiki, but based on smokey mezcal and coffee. While we not at all encourage smoking tobacco, we can certainly understand how this cocktail got its name. The combination of flavors is really interesting. The very potent mezcal is paired with distinct flavors such as coffee, grapefruit juice and allspice! But just like in tiki drinks “more is more” and of course this recipe ends up being both delicious and memorable. Tobacconist Recipe by California Gold Ingredients: 1,5 oz mezcal 0,5 oz

Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique

The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique cocktail might sound a bit violent (referring to the death blow in Kill Bill). And sure, this mezcal based drink is both characteristic, messy and loud - but in the most wonderful of ways! Mellowing that mezcal a bit is what the coffee liqueur in the recipe is doing. And this was the perfect opportunity for us to try out Conkerspirit's [https://www.conkerspirit.co.uk/] Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur. This is a premium product made with Brazilian and Ethio
