Aromatic and sweet. Used this liqueur in cocktails the same way as other mainstream coffee liqueurs.

Ground coffee beans are slowly infused into distillery produced spirit. The resulting brew is then sweetened and rounded out with vanilla flavouring.

Cali.co Café’s house blend of coffee beans is an exclusive formulation created by Just Us Coffee Roasters Co-Op. The beans carry notes of rich dark fruit and toffee. The goal for the liqueur was to bring this familiar flavour into a format useful for cocktails. Cali.co Café is only 1 km away from the distillery so make sure to check it out!

The bean illustration was painted by David Scheirer on commission (2020).

Liqueurs are spirits infused with a botanical element and sweetened with sugar. i.e. some kind of flavouring and more or less sweet.

The infusion can happen by vapour through distillation or simply by steeping. While many liqueurs are very sweet, some are quite dry.

Many classic liqueurs around today were originally popularized because of their reported medicinal properties. Alcohol can be a powerful solvent for essential oils and the aqua vitae insures indefinite preservation.
