Giffard Cafe Du Honduras Coffee Liqueur

Giffard Café du Honduras is a premium coffee liqueur designed for coffee lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. At its heart lies fair-trade, single-origin Arabica beans harvested in the mountainous regions of Honduras. This Lenca coffee, a carefully selected blend of varietals such as Catuai, Caturra, Tipica, and Bourbon, delivers depth, clarity, and character that only a pure-origin bean can provide.

What makes this liqueur stand out is the method: instead of a typical infusion, the beans undergo a cold-brew maceration in a neutral base spirit distilled from sugar beets. This slow, gentle extraction captures the full aromatic and flavour profile of freshly roasted coffee, warm, toasted, and intensely aromatic, without introducing bitterness or harshness.

In the glass, Café du Honduras displays a deep, amber-brown hue that hints at its richness. On the nose, you’ll find bold, freshly-roasted espresso notes, think dark roast coffee straight out of the roaster, layered with inviting hints of vanilla, cocoa, and subtle caramel.

The first sip brings a smooth, round, and woody entry, reminiscent of a well-prepared cold brew, but amplified. As the flavours develop on your palate, the coffee’s intensity gives way to softer, warmer tones: velvety cocoa, gentle vanilla, and caramel sweetness. There’s complexity and balance here, rich coffee depth without cloying sugar, and a finish that is generous and lingering, yet refined. 

Because of its thoughtful production and balanced sweetness, much lower than many mass-market coffee liqueurs, Café du Honduras excels both as a cocktail ingredient and as a smooth sipping liqueur. It’s ideal for classic drinks like Espresso Martinis, White Russians, or creative signature cocktails where a coffee liqueur’s depth can shine. Equally, it delivers as a digestif over ice or with a splash of cream, giving you that long, roasted finish. 

Giffard Café du Honduras brings together honest ingredients, skilled craftsmanship, and thoughtful production to create a coffee liqueur with real character. Deeply aromatic, richly flavoured, and supple on the palate, it’s an elevated update on what coffee liqueur can be.
