CAFÉ SOLO has announced the launch of its debut expression, CAFÉ SOLO ORIGINAL – the first in a range of full-bodied super premium cold brew coffee liqueurs made in the UK. The team at CAFÉ SOLO will also create a selection of cask-finished coffee liqueurs, which offer interest and complexity for mixologists making cocktails in bars and at home.
CAFÉ SOLO is made with espresso-strength coffee from specialty cold brew coffee makers SOLO Coffee and premium British Vodka. The coffee used is created by former baristas, Alex Foss Sims and Theo Garcia, from a blend of freshly ground, sustainably sourced Brazilian and Colombian beans. CAFÉ SOLO Original has an ABV of 25%.
CAFÉ SOLO Original Tasting Notes:
Bold and rich, dark fruit acidity, chocolate, and vanilla notes with a long and sweet aftertaste.
CAFÉ SOLO brand manager, Holly Harwood comments: “There continues to be phenomenal popularity for coffee-based cocktails, such as the Espresso Martini. We recognised the need for a premium coffee liqueur when speaking to bartenders across the UK. Many simply felt that the coffee liqueurs on offer were far too sweet or were not exciting enough. CAFÉ SOLO Original is the perfect sipping liqueur or base for your favourite coffee cocktail.”
