Description

Coffee liqueur is a sweet alcoholic beverage made from coffee, sugar, and alcohol, commonly used in the preparation of desserts, cocktails, and various culinary recipes. Its characteristic flavor combines the intensity and aroma of coffee with a sweet touch and a slight alcoholic content, adding depth and a special nuance to preparations.

Coffee liqueur has its origins in Europe, particularly in countries like Italy and France, where it became popular as a digestif and an ingredient in cocktails like the famous Espresso Martini or desserts like tiramisu. In many recipes, coffee liqueur is used to enhance flavors and add a sophisticated touch.

Among its properties, its ability to intensify the coffee flavor in sweet and savory preparations stands out, as well as providing a smooth texture due to its alcoholic and sugary content. Furthermore, it contributes an intense and complex aroma that complements both desserts and beverages.

In Latin America, coffee liqueur goes by different names depending on the region, with common synonyms being coffee cream, liqueur de café, or simply coffee liquor. In some countries, it is also known as liquor coffee or coffee rum when the alcoholic base is rum.
