Using high-quality, freshly made coffee and pairing it with classy ingredients like Drambuie creates a drink that makes great use of coffee's complex, slightly bitter backbone, without all the sweetness you get from coffee liqueurs.
Drambuie is a blend of aged Scotch, heather honey, and herbs that has a sweet but balanced flavor. The liqueur is often enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in various cocktails. Its unique combination of flavors, including the sweetness of honey and the complexity of the herbs, makes Drambuie a versatile spirit that can be used in both classic and modern drink recipes.
