Great recipe for the coffee liqueur! My last episode was also about the homemade coffee liqueur. I made it in the sous vide and I also added a small chunk of oak from whiskey barrel, to make it a bit woody. Cheers!

That recipe is great. I used made a batch last week and made served revolvers at my Christmas party last night. I used a medium roast Costa Rican natural for the cold brew. It was a single bean origin with an amazing strawberry forward profile. And for the Sous vide I used a medium roast Mexican which had a stone fruit dark chocolate flavour profile (I’m a coffee roaster). Needless to say there is none left this morning. If you like the affogato substitute this liqueur for espresso and you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the recipe.

Coffee liqueurs by far my favorite, And for me it's very hard to come by a very good coffee liqueur to buy in stores, one of the only ones that I could find is an Austin Texas where they sell Caffe Del Fuego, they use dark roast coffee (decaffeinated) mixed with and a natural grain spirit and that's it! It's by far one of my favorites but it's great to see that you're showing a recipe to make it at home. Definitely going to be trying this, cheers!

I have a great recipe to put your rum to good use. Even though I make it with dark rum, white rum would work just fine. It's the best Pina Colada you'll ever make. Check it out. Cheers!

Looks fantastic. Will make this once I run out of a turkish coffee based barreled aged one I picked up from a local distillery. Yours seems so onpoint to have the flexibility to change the flavours to your preference. First the coffee bean, could add spices (things like a bit of cayenne pepper, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, mint if you like...) use a dark brown sugar for a molasses/caramel flavour or maple syrup, (drooled a little writing that) and the rum of course say a clear Wray and Nephew Overproof would be a nice punch of jamaica or what about an overproof bourbon as a portion or all (thinking Knob Creek 120). Man I can see me having a few on the counter steeping away. Ha i'm saying you are the cause when I get yelled at. :P Thanks again, stay safe, stay sane!

Going to try this this week. Are there any alternatives to the cacao beans? I wouldn't have a use for how many I would get in a package. The internet suggests that I might be able to use Dutch-processed cocoa and cacao powder, but I can't be confident that would apply to a liqueur since this is new territory for me. Lovely video, and I adore the personality you put into it.

Thanks for the comment. Several alternatives exist for cacao beans. Baking chocolate, chocolate chips, or cacao powder can be used as a convenient replacement.

Don’t used oily French roast coffee. If it is old it can go rancid. Use a nice medium roast coffee, it will make for a more complex coffee flavour.

@BarTalkCocktails

2 жыл бұрын

Many recipes call for vodka. I used rum because it has so much more flavour than vodka. Its sweet, toasted sugar plays nicely with the coffee. Aged in wood casks, the type of wood is often a determining factor that will give an individual rum distinct characteristics of smoothness, richness, smokiness, and drinkability. Also, the 151 proof gives it an Oomph that I like! Follow the recipe and make some, you won't be disappointed. All you have to do is be patient... Cheers!

I'm curious about one thing. How would this turn out if you didn't add the sugar and heavy cream. Would you get something more like a Mr. Black. Would it be better just to add a half measure of those ingredient? I'm aiming to try and make a less sweet version, but I'm pretty new to the bartending game so any input would be appreciated. Many thanks!

@BarTalkCocktails

4 жыл бұрын

I've never tried Mr Black, but from what I understand it contains half the sugar and ten times the coffee that traditional, popular coffee liqueurs have. I don't find my recipe overly sweet though. However, it is a liqueur, and liqueurs tend to sway towards the sweet side of things. You could if you wanted to, cut the sugar back without changing the overall palatableness too much. You may have to compensate with a little simple syrup when you end up using it in certain cocktails. The heavy cream should mostly be added at the time you make your cocktail. It's just fresher tasting that way. Bottom line, you have to experiment to discover what works for you. Cheers!

You could substitute cacao beans for cocoa powder. If you do that it might be a good idea to wrap it up in a coffee filter or cheesecloth so that it makes filtering easier. Actually, cacao beans aren't essential to this recipe. You could also leave them out and still make an amazing liqueur. Cheers!
