A dark, sweet liqueur flavored with coffee and sugar. It pours syrupy with a roasted coffee aroma and hints of vanilla and caramel, and blends smoothly into dairy and chocolate. Commonly used in cocktails, desserts, and coffee drinks; bottles often range from 20–30% ABV.

Modern coffee liqueurs emerged in the 20th century from traditions of macerating coffee in rum or neutral spirits. Production spread across Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe, where makers infuse, sweeten, and filter the spirit before bottling for global bar and pastry use.
