Joseph Cartron Café is a coffee liqueur bottled at 25% ABV. Joseph Cartron is a family distillery in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Burgundy, that has been producing benchmark liqueurs since 1882.
It is made from coffee beans sourced from Costa Rica and Kenya, roasted and crushed specifically for Cartron.
The blend gives a rich, roasted coffee character with bright fruit from the Kenyan beans and a smooth body from the Costa Rican.
It is a deep, aromatic coffee liqueur for espresso martinis, after-dinner sipping and desserts.
Like the rest of the Cartron range, it comes in the house's tall, slender bottle with the 1882 crest, a handsome addition to any home bar. It is a thoughtful gift for home bartenders, and it sits naturally alongside the other Cartron liqueurs for anyone building a well-stocked cocktail cabinet.

How to Enjoy It
Shake Cartron Café with vodka and a fresh shot of espresso over ice for a rich espresso martini, and garnish with three coffee beans. It also makes a classic White Russian with vodka and cream, a Black Russian, and a coffee Old Fashioned stirred with bourbon and a dash of bitters. Serve it over ice with a splash of milk or cream after dinner, or add it to hot coffee or hot chocolate. Pour it over vanilla ice cream for an affogato, or use it to soak the ladyfingers in tiramisu. Pair it with dark chocolate, biscotti or cheesecake. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
