Coffee liqueurs are sweet alcoholic beverages that combine the rich flavor of coffee with spirits, typically vodka or rum. They are often enjoyed on their own, over ice, or as an ingredient in cocktails. Popular brands include Kahlúa and Tia Maria, which are known for their smooth texture and balanced sweetness. These liqueurs are made by infusing coffee beans with alcohol and adding sugar and other flavorings. The result is a versatile drink that can enhance desserts, coffee drinks, or be sipped straight. Coffee liqueurs are especially popular in after-dinner drinks and cocktails like the Espresso Martini.
