Add your GM and then add your coffee.
Talos Coffee is a simple two-ingredient coffee cocktail made with Grand Marnier and hot coffee, served in a brandy snifter. The orange-cognac complexity of Grand Marnier — a cognac-based triple sec with Haitian bitter orange peel — enriches and sweetens the coffee without adding cream. It is an easy, elegant after-dinner drink that pairs the flavors of coffee and orange liqueur.
History & Origins
Talos Coffee is a modern coffee cocktail of disputed origin with no formal documentation. It belongs to the tradition of spirit-enriched coffee drinks that emerged in European café culture and was popularized globally in the 20th century by drinks like Irish Coffee. The specific pairing of Grand Marnier and coffee likely reflects home bartending experimentation rather than institutional creation.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Grand Marnier's orange peel and cognac aromatics mingling with the bold, roasted notes of fresh coffee. Palate: Sweet and warming, with orange liqueur's citrus-cognac richness complementing the coffee's bitterness and roast; the ratio of 3:1 Grand Marnier to coffee makes this spirit-forward. Finish: Long, warm, and orange-tinged with lingering coffee bitterness and cognac warmth.
Pro Tip
Use freshly brewed, strong coffee to balance the sweetness of the Grand Marnier, and warm the brandy snifter beforehand to maintain the drink's temperature.
