Coffee liqueur is a sweet, aromatic alcoholic beverage flavored with coffee.[1]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The primary spirit base—often rum or vodka—is infused with coffee essence to make a blend of strong coffee flavor and the richness of alcohol. Sugar imparts a sweetness that complements the inherent bitterness of coffee.[1][2] Depending on the region or brand, various other ingredients like vanilla, chocolate, or spices might be added to enhance its depth of flavor.
Selection and storage[edit | edit source]
Different brands of coffee liqueur will have slightly different flavor profiles, varying especially in the sweetness level. Choose the brand that will best complement your recipe.
Use[edit | edit source]
Consumed on its own in cocktails or as a dessert ingredient, coffee liqueur has several applications. As a cocktail component, coffee liqueur is well-known in the White Russian and Black Russian.[1] When incorporated into desserts, such as custards it typically acts as a flavoring.[1]
