Why We Love It
Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur stands out for its intense, genuine coffee flavor, achieved by using cold brew coffee and ten times the coffee of traditional coffee liqueurs. Unlike many overly sweet alternatives, Mr Black maintains a balanced profile with half the sugar content, allowing the complex notes of specialty Arabica coffee beans to shine through in cocktails.
How to Drink It
Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur shines when sipped neat or over ice, allowing its rich coffee flavors to take center stage. It also excels in spirit-forward cocktails like variations on the Old Fashioned or Negroni, and pairs beautifully with desserts featuring chocolate or nuts, making it a perfect digestif for cool autumn evenings or as a warming nightcap on chilly winter nights.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich, freshly brewed coffee dominates. Notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and a hint of vanilla emerge. Subtle undertones of caramel and espresso beans add depth.
Palate: Intense coffee flavor hits first, reminiscent of cold brew. Bittersweet chocolate and toasted almonds follow. A balanced sweetness counters the coffee's natural bitterness. Smooth texture with a slight alcohol warmth.
Finish: Long-lasting coffee aftertaste. Lingering notes of cocoa powder and a touch of cinnamon. Pleasantly bitter, like the last sip of espresso. Leaves a dry, slightly sweet sensation on the tongue.
How It's Made
Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is crafted by cold-brewing specialty coffee beans from Ethiopia, Brazil, and Papua New Guinea for 12 hours, then blending the resulting extract with Australian wheat vodka and cane sugar. This cold-brew method extracts less acid and bitterness from the coffee beans compared to traditional hot brewing, resulting in a smoother, more complex flavor profile that showcases the nuanced notes of the carefully selected coffee beans.
