Pochteca Coffee Liqueur is a coffee liqueur made with tequila. Pochteca is a Mexican family company, Casa Pochteca, founded by Silvia Martínez Pérez and her husband Jorge Martínez Cano. Its liqueurs are made with 100% agave tequila and agave nectar, and bottled at 18% ABV.
It combines 100% Blue Weber agave tequila with artisanal coffee, part of the Pochteca line built on natural ingredients and the merchant heritage of the Aztec pochteca traders it is named after.
In the glass it is dark and rich, with roasted coffee, a hint of agave and a smooth, gentle sweetness.
The tequila base gives it a brighter, more distinctive character than coffee liqueurs made on neutral spirit.
Its rounded bottle with a hand-tied neck and colourful label makes it a cheerful gift for anyone who loves tequila and bright Mexican flavours, and its moderate strength makes it easy to enjoy at parties and on warm afternoons.
