River Basin Distillery & French Truck Coffee Cordial is a creamy New Orleans coffee liqueur that blends oak-aged whiskey with French Truck's cold brew coffee, oat milk and a hint of pure cocoa, bottled at 36 proof (18% ABV) in a 1-liter bottle.
The cordial is a collaboration between two New Orleans names. River Basin Distillery, co-founded by Elliott Wiener, John Suarez and Andrew Albert, is dedicated to honoring the city's rich traditions and develops its releases alongside local food and beverage makers. French Truck Coffee is the city's well-known local coffee roaster, and its cold brew sits at the heart of this bottle.
Whiskey forms the base, layered with French Truck's cold brew coffee, oat milk and a touch of pure cocoa. The oat milk makes it a modern, dairy-free take on a cream coffee liqueur, smooth and creamy without being heavy.
The result is deliciously smooth, creamy and chocolatey right out of the bottle: bold coffee up front, rounded by the oat milk and a cocoa finish, with the whiskey adding warmth underneath. At 18% ABV it is easy to sip on its own.
It works poured neat, served over ice, stirred into coffee cocktails or a hot coffee, or sipped as a flavored aperitif. A natural pick for coffee lovers and an easy host gift with a true New Orleans story.
