Lavie Koffee is a kosher espresso liqueur built on premium coffee beans — the drier, more grown-up cousin of a cream coffee liqueur. Deep, bittersweet, and coffee-forward, it earns its place in any bar cart that runs Espresso Martinis, White Russians, or Black Russians.

Mood: bittersweet, dark, coffee-forward.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of fresh espresso, roasted coffee bean, and dark cocoa lift immediately from the glass with a whisper of vanilla and toasted sugar behind them. The palate is dark and bittersweet — cold-brew coffee, cocoa nib, and burnt caramel — before a medium finish that closes clean with dark coffee and a touch of oak.

Serving & Pairing

Serve chilled, over one large cube, or as the coffee backbone in an Espresso Martini, White Russian, or Black Russian. Pours generously over vanilla ice cream for an instant affogato; also folds into a mocha hot chocolate at the end of a long night.
