Patrón XO Cafe Tequila Coffee Liqueur, 70cl

Product Information

It's simple enough, you need a shot of espresso (which you can prepare at home using a coffee machine ) and a shot of a tequila of your choice. For me, I find coffee after 2pm can mess with my sleep pattern. So if going for a coffee based liqueur there's one thing I look out for and it's for ' decaf'. Not only does Cafe Patron add a unique flavor profile to any drink, but it also pairs well with a variety of other ingredients. I think this has a really smooth finish and it's 25%, which isn't quite as strong as XO but still must be handled responsibly.

This type of liquor has a range of as low as 5 percent on up to 40 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), depending on the brand you choose. Nuances of chocolate, a strong coffee flavor, and a touch of vanilla and possibly hazelnut come to mind when thinking of coffee liqueur. But even though you expect a coffee liqueur to taste like, well, coffee, not all of them do. Surprisingly, some might only have a slight coffee flavor, taste sugary and overly sweet, and don't provide the dark, rich flavor of coffee that you expect in this liqueur. It is worthwhile to sample a few to see which one you prefer for your drinking pleasure.This sweet and smooth coffee-flavored liqueur has become a staple in many bars and homes alike, and for good reason.

These recipes range from classic and simple to more complex and unique, but all have one thing in common: they showcase the delicious flavor of Cafe Patron. Following the advertising strategy of Grey Goose, Patrón presented its tequila as "premium" and signaled "taste and sophistication" through individually-numbered glass bottles. The target audience is mostly vodka drinkers in nightclubs and trendy bars. Through persistent references by country music and hip hop singers, and by Lil Jon in particular, Patrón has become a fixture of popular culture.

"A distinctive mix of freshly roasted Arabica beans, French-roasted chicory root, and Madagascar vanilla, it's complex and earthy with a touch of sweetness. It is delicious by itself as an after-dinner drink but also makes the best White Russian."
