French coffee liqueur brand heads to the UK market
SPECIALIST spirits firm Love Drinks has kicked off the new year with the roll our of Brunette – a small batch, organic coffee liqueur from France’s Bordeaux Distilling Company.
Available in a 700ml bottle with an RRP of £29.95, Brunette also features zero additives or colourings, and contains less sugar than other coffee liqueur options on the market allowing it to appeal to more health conscious consumers.
The cold brew coffee liqueur has been made using 100% natural organic ingredients which are put through an “artisan process” to help extract as much flavour as possible from the sustainably sourced coffee beans.
Made to mirror the craft coffee scene, the premium Brunette Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur aims to connect with coffee lovers across the UK and drive up sales with this group of consumers.
Antoine Gravouil, master of ceremonies at Bordeaux Distilling Co., said: “Love Drinks has played a huge role in driving interest in coffee liqueurs and the sector as a whole in the last decade so we’re delighted to have joined their eclectic portfolio.
“We’re supremely confident in the quality of the product and believe 2025 will be a huge year for coffee and the next wave of innovative coffee drinks and serves.
Brunette features a special blend of coffee beans that have been sourced from high altitudes, with beans from La Victoria in Honduras as well asGidaamii beans and washed heirloom Gera Beans from Ethiopia.
The blend is then roasted and ground before being steeping in natural spring water for a 48-hour cold brew extraction.After this, high-class French winter wheat grain alcohol from the Picardy region in Northern France is added before going under a 6-week long maturation period in steel tanks.
Samantha Burke, managing director at Love Drinks, said: “Coffee overtook tea as the nation’s favourite drink in 2023 and the Espresso Martini continues to be a dominant force in the world of cocktails so we’re very excited to take on the distribution for this high-class coffee liqueur.
“With its organic credentials, craft production methods, serious quality and story, Brunette has rampantly raised the bar in the coffee liqueur sector. For the growing number of coffee connoisseurs and cocktail lovers, Brunette is a must try and a brand that is perfectly placed to take the coffee cocktail arena into new frontiers.”
