Coffee liqueur is a liqueur made by infusing coffee beans in distilled spirits, offering both rich coffee aromas and sweet flavors.
It typically has an alcohol content between 20% and 30%, balancing smooth sweetness with a bitter coffee profile.
It is a key ingredient in cocktails like the White Russian, Black Russian, and Espresso Martini.
Thanks to its bold coffee aroma, it is often used in dessert cocktails or warm winter drinks.
Popular brands include Kahlúa and Tia Maria, and it can also be enjoyed neat or paired with desserts.
