Bardinet is celebrating the UK launch of its new coffee flavoured brandy today (Wednesday 11th May) by unveiling a series of cocktails they hope will inspire drinkers to be their own 'brandy barista' at home.
Bardinet Coffee is the first release from the brand's new 'Flavours Collection' and combines Bardinet brandy with the delicious natural flavours of Arabica and Robusta coffee.
Crafted with French passion by Bardinet's Master Blender in Bordeaux, the new expression celebrates this timeless flavour pairing, with the rich, smooth, mellow taste of roasted coffee combining perfectly with Bardinet's sweet, dried fruit notes.
The result is a deliciously bittersweet spirit that can be enjoyed neat, with ice or served up with an array of indulgent flavours in a cocktail.
The Bardinet team has taken inspiration from French Café Culture to inspire its new cocktail collection, with three easy to make recipes that bring together the flavours of brandy, coffee, chocolate, vanilla and more.
