(From Issue 7)

Forget everything you know about coffee liqueur.  We were among the first to taste Firelit coffee liqueur – a new spirit that is already creating a buzz. A team of people – including some of the guys at St. George Spirits (where the liqueur is made) are taking the best of the best Blue Bottle Coffee and making a coffee liqueur that is tasty enough to drink first thing in the morning.  The beans are all single origin – in this first batch they are from Yemen and then hand roasted and cold brewed – a technique that helps to capture the coffee’s essence without losing the flavor – think about your cup of cold coffee…it never can taste the same.  It is mixed with an un-oaked Chardonnay Brandy and sweetened with cane syrup. The coffee liqueur keeps that wonderful nuance of the roasted beans that you look for in a good cup of coffee.  This batch was made with Blue Bottle Coffee, but moving ahead you may want to keep your eyes out for other flavors.
