Conker Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur
Conker's coffee liqueurs are made from just four simple ingredients, including grade 1 naturally processed coffee which is grown in Ethiopia.
With sustainability at heart, the coffee is produced in a system of productive agroforestry, where the land is used to produce crops, honey and timber whilst at the same time being a haven of biodiversity.
The beans are precisely roasted to deliver a bold coffee with liquorice and cocoa, whilst enhancing natural vanillas and hints of stone fruits and caramel.
Enjoy served simply poured over ice, or topped with classic tonic and a wedge of orange.
You can also rustle up an Espresso Martini in less than 90 seconds, shake 70ml with ice and 30ml chilled water. No vodka or espresso machine needed!
