What is Mr Black Coffee Liqueur?

Mr Black Coffee Liqueur is a high-quality, cold-brew-based coffee liqueur from Australia that focuses on real coffee flavor rather than excessive sweetness. Unlike Kahlúa, which contains added flavors and more sugar, Mr Black is designed to showcase the complexity of specialty coffee beans with a higher coffee-to-sugar ratio.

Key Features of Mr Black Coffee Liqueur:

• Made from 100% specialty-grade Arabica coffee beans.

• Cold-brewed for 12 hours to extract deep flavors.

• Uses Australian wheat vodka as its base for a smooth, clean finish.

• Less sugar than traditional coffee liqueurs for a stronger coffee-forward taste.

• Contains real caffeine from the coffee infusion, unlike other liqueurs.

With a 25% ABV, it’s a versatile, bold, and balanced coffee liqueur that enhances espresso-based cocktails.

How is Mr Black Different from Kahlúa?

Mr Black is made with 100% specialty-grade Arabica coffee beans, carefully sourced and cold-brewed for 12 hours to extract their natural depth. It uses Australian wheat vodka as its base spirit, providing a clean, smooth finish without overpowering the coffee notes.

The result? A rich, bittersweet, and complex coffee liqueur with lower sugar and higher coffee intensity.

Where to Buy Mr Black Coffee Liqueur?

If you’re wondering where to buy Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, it’s available in:

• Liquor stores that specialize in craft spirits.

• Online retailers like Total Wine, Drizly, and ReserveBar.

• Cocktail bars and coffee shops that emphasize high-quality espresso cocktails.

However, if you’re looking to craft your own coffee liqueur at home, using specialty Vietnamese coffee from Bazan Coffee can help you create a bold, rich, and naturally sweet coffee-infused spirit.

How Much Caffeine is in Mr Black Coffee Liqueur?

One of the unique selling points of Mr Black Coffee Liqueur is that it actually contains caffeine.

Caffeine Content in Mr Black Coffee Liqueur:

• Per 30ml (1 oz) serving → 25-40 mg of caffeine (similar to half an espresso shot).

• Per 100ml → Around 85-100 mg of caffeine (comparable to a cup of brewed coffee).

Since Mr Black is cold-brew infused, it retains the natural caffeine from coffee beans, making it a great choice for cocktail lovers who want a slight caffeine boost.

Mr Black Coffee Liqueur Price – How Much Does It Cost?

Mr Black Coffee Liqueur is considered a premium coffee liqueur, meaning it’s more expensive than mass-market options like Kahlúa.

Average Prices for Mr Black Coffee Liqueur:

• 750ml bottle: $35 - $45 USD

• 375ml bottle: $20 - $30 USD

• Limited editions & special releases: $50+ USD

Prices may vary based on retailer, location, and edition, but the quality and real coffee flavor justify its higher price point.
