Warm Strong

Café Savoy es un cálido cóctel de café de sobremesa que combina café caliente recién preparado con brandy y triple sec, suavizado con un chorrito de leche para una bebida reconfortante y enriquecida con licores. Con un 7,34% ABV, es una bebida gentil pero reconfortante dentro de la tradición europea de los cafés licorosos de estilo café. El triple sec aporta un brillo a naranja que contrasta con el amargor del café y el calor del brandy.

History & Origins

Café Savoy takes its name from the Savoy Hotel in London, one of the most famous hotels in cocktail history and home of the legendary American Bar, though the specific connection between this recipe and the hotel is disputed. Cognac or brandy coffees were a common feature of late 19th and early 20th century European café culture. The addition of triple sec for orange flavor reflects a common mid-20th century approach to enriching coffee cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Rich brewed coffee with warm brandy, the orange sweetness of triple sec, and a gentle milky softness. Palate: Coffee-forward with a pleasant bitterness; the brandy adds warmth and oak depth while the triple sec provides a subtle orange sweetness; the milk softens the overall profile. Finish: Warm and slightly bitter, with lingering coffee and brandy.
