Tempus Fugit Spirits Creme de Moka (75cl, 25%)

A coffee liqueur at 25% ABV in a 750ml bottle, revived from a historic crème de moka recipe dating to 1755. Tempus Fugit Spirits selects Arabica beans from Ethiopia's Sidamo and Yirgacheffe regions, distils them with neutral eau-de-vie, then blends with cold-brewed Ethiopian coffee and cane sugar, with no artificial flavourings or colourings. The result is bittersweet, floral and deeply aromatic, with structure rather than syrup. It can be enjoyed neat or over ice, and adds bittersweet depth to an espresso martini or dessert cocktails. On the nose there are freshly roasted coffee beans, cocoa, toasted nuts, dark berries and floral tones. The palate brings layered bittersweet mocha, roasted coffee intensity, dark berries and delicate florals, with measured sweetness and a gentle roasted finish.
