Black Cashmere

Coffee Liqueur

This premium liqueur has deep roots in both rural Minnesota and North Minneapolis; a soulful collision of locally produced spirits from Brother Justus Whiskey Company and Grade 1 coffee sourced and roasted by The Get Down Coffee Co.

Black Cashmere Coffee Liqueur by Houston White feels like your favorite go-to sweater or your whip's aged leather. The palate is deep with multi-layered notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and candied fruit, with a boozy, not-too-sweet finish.

This is for cocktails shared with friends, sipped neat on a weekend morning, and even a secret weapon in your culinary repertoire.

The Fine Print, Served Smooth

  • Coffee Liqueur is a sweet, coffee-flavored alcoholic beverage that is made by infusing coffee beans into a spirit, then often adding sugar or other flavoring agents, like vanilla or chocolate. The spirit can be rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, or any other that can take on the coffee flavor from the beans.

  • Yes, coffee liqueur typically has an ABV between 20-25%. Black Cashmere has an ABV of 22%, or 44 Proof.

  • Yes, coffee liqueur often contains natural caffeine from the beans that are soaked in the spirit. How much caffeine depends on the specific liqueur, and can run the gamut from as little as 5mg per ounce to upwards of 50mg per ounce. Black Cashmere contains an average of 21mg per ounce, which makes it about twice as potent as an ounce of strong coffee, or half as much as an espresso.

  • However you want to drink it! Sip it on its own, neat or on the rocks; use it in a classic cocktail, like an Espresso Martini, White Russian, Revolver, or others; or play around with adding it to your other favorite drinks to give them a coffee backbone!

  • Because coffee liqueur contains natural ingredients, the flavor and quality will diminish over time. You might see some separation in the bottle that doesn't resolve with shaking, or the aroma might not be as potent. Rarely does it become dangerous, due to the alcohol content, but we highly recommend consuming a bottle within one year of purchase. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the bottle in a refrigerator and consume within six months. Make sure the bottle is resealed tightly after each pour!

  • Black Cashmere's recipe does not contain any ingredients that are glutinous, but it is processed in a facility that processes gluten-containing grain.

  • Black Cashmere is available for pick-up at the Distillery (check our social for current Bottle Shop hours), and at retailers in Minnesota and Illinois. Use our Store Locator to find a bottle near you!
