Product Description
Giffard Café du Honduras is a premium coffee liqueur made using single-origin Honduras Arabica beans and a cold-brew maceration process. At 25% ABV, it delivers warm, generous roasted coffee notes with cocoa, caramel, and vanilla, balanced sweetness, and a clean, lingering coffee bitterness that works beautifully in cocktails or neat.

Flavor & Palate
| Aspect | Notes |

What Sets It Apart
-
Use of single-origin Honduras Arabica gives more terroir / bean character than generic flavoring.
