Nuances of chocolate, a strong coffee flavor, and a touch of vanilla and possibly hazelnut come to mind when thinking of coffee liqueur. But even though you expect a coffee liqueur to taste like, well, coffee, not all of them do. Surprisingly, some might only have a slight coffee flavor, taste sugary and overly sweet, and don't provide the dark, rich flavor of coffee that you expect in this liqueur. It is worthwhile to sample a few to see which one you prefer for your drinking pleasure.

At Hotel Chocolat, we like to think that we know a thing or two about mixing our own tipsy concoctions. Although you might think of us as being chocolate connoisseurs only, we equally pride ourselves on our mixologist knowledge. We own two bars and regularly serve a selection of chocolate-inspired beverages for you to sip on.

Whether you enjoy it over ice or mix it into your coffee, Guappa’s rich, luscious profile turns each sip into an espresso Martini-like vibe. We’ve put our own spin on a classic coffee liqueur by adding cream. Our Velvetised Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur combines vodka, espresso, white chocolate and cream. To achieve the silkiest results we velvetised our mixture, creating a liqueur that goes down more smoothly than most. An excellent creamy liqueur for coffee is the Baileys Irish Cream. Its Irish whiskey [ 1] and cream mix with a hint of chocolate and vanilla elevate your coffee to a rich, indulgent delight. The range includes award-winning lines, such as IWSC 2023 Gold medal winner Extra Special Blonde Chocolate Liqueur

But, aside from Baileys, we suggest exploring the luscious depths of Dekuyper or the festive vibes of RumChata. One of the drinks on the menu at Freehold Miami is the Expresso Martini, made with cold brew concentrate and Borghetti coffee liqueur. Torres also recommends swapping out vermouth with coffee liqueur in a Manhattan, along with chocolate or walnut bitters. This Irish cream liqueur transforms coffee into a smooth and mildly sugary treat, making it one of our favorite cream liqueurs.
