Coffee liqueur (optional)
Description
Coffee liqueur (optional) is an aromatic, sweet alcohol with an intense flavor of roasted coffee, complemented by notes of chocolate and vanilla; it has a dark amber color and a sticky, thick consistency that blends well with creams. From a nutritional standpoint, it is a source of calories and sugar, as well as alcohol, with a small amount of minerals; it stands out positively for its antioxidant content derived from coffee, but it should be used in moderation due to its caloric content and alcoholic effect. In the kitchen, coffee liqueur pairs wonderfully with desserts such as tiramisu, ice cream, creams, cakes, and sauces, as well as with cocktails and coffee with alcohol, where it enhances the coffee aroma. It should be stored in a closed bottle in a cool, dark place; once opened, it is advisable to keep the bottle tightly sealed and use it within a few months to a year, avoiding direct light and high temperatures.
