Vedrenne has been making liqueurs since 1923 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, initially winning recognition for the outstanding quality of its Crèmes de Cassis and fruit liqueurs. Now widely regarded as the third leading French producer of fruit and cocktail liqueurs, and the leader in the upmarket segment for bartenders, mixologists and connoisseurs, Vedrenne combines over a century of expertise with modern processing techniques across a wide range spanning liqueurs, aperitifs, fortified wines, fruit eaux de vie and syrups. The brand operates a museum devoted to Cassis at its main production site, alongside a smaller, more experimental distillery in the Dordogne/Périgord region, and its liqueurs receive numerous international awards each year for exceptional quality.

Vedrenne builds this liqueur with genuine technical care — the base coffee alcoholate is distilled in the house's own traditional Charentais still, using roasted, atomised green coffee beans, then blended with 100% Arabica soluble coffee sourced specifically from Colombia, a considered two-stage process that gives it far more depth than a simple coffee-flavoured syrup. Master of Malt specifically flags it as excellent for an Espresso Martini, and suggests it's also well worth experimenting with in tequila and rum-based drinks — a distinctive pairing outside the usual vodka-and-coffee default that could set a cocktail menu apart. Vedrenne itself also promotes it as a versatile kitchen ingredient, well suited to flavouring sweet dishes like cakes, creams and tiramisu, or even savoury applications like a coffee-based sauce for meat — genuine culinary crossover most coffee liqueurs don't offer. As part of Vedrenne's range of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs, built on Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant-certified craftsmanship, it's a rich, well-made coffee liqueur for any serious bar or kitchen.
