Taste: Sweet to the taste, with notes of brown sugar & spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit & anise. This Coffee Tequila Liqueur from MYST combines a base of quality silver Tequila and blends it with all the great notes of a freshly opened bag of coffee. A touch of sweetness rounds things off nicely. This ought to be smashing in a twist on an Espresso Martini! MYST Coffee Tequila Liqueur | 700ML Tasting Notes Less than a year later, MYST Salted Caramel Tequila and MYST Spiced Apple Rum was born. This exciting brand has continued to expand the range since.v Next, don’t make your coffee too far in advance otherwise it will oxidise and start to taste bitter. I find that coffee from a stove-top moka works well in place of a proper espresso; just be careful that you don’t over-boil it or the coffee will go bitter. And finally, shake with lots of very cold ice like your life depended on it. “You have to shake hard because you have to get that iconic cream at the top,” Eslamieh said. “Sometimes we actually do a reverse shake. We would dry shake [without ice] it first, then shake it with ice as well, and then pour it. So when you pour it, there’s just this nice caramel look.”

They continued to drink (to get rid of the Tequila burn of course), and sophisticatedly discuss the Flavoured sprits market, before coming up with a 'Loco' (crazy) idea of flavoured tequila but with new flavours to what had existed. They explored popular British flavours and found that Salted Caramel stood out and seemed a consumer favourite. After discovering they shared the same views on their dislike of Tequila, they explored a 'loco (crazy) idea' and started to plant the seeds in the UK.The Myst Spiced Apple Liqueur takes a different approach, combining rum with the familiar and comforting notes of spiced apples. Additional elements of pineapple and peach are perceptible, alongside a notable presence of ginger and cinnamon. It's suitable for sipping over ice or blending with fruity mixers, providing a flavorful yet not overly complex addition to the drink repertoire. Liquor-ish is an exciting company of mid-low abv spirits that currently sit in the flavoured Tequila and Rum category.

Once you have mastered the basic recipe, you can start playing around with it. Eslamieh likes to add Disaronno Amaretto to give it a nutty taste. You could try adding a little sambuca as a nod to that Italian classic, the Caffe Corretto or add Asterley Bros London Fernet, which has a bitter chocolate flavour and may as well be custom-made to go with coffee. Or swap the vodka for a sweet rum like Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum or even a smoky whisky like Ardbeg 10 Year Old– trust us, it really works. MYST is an exciting brand of lower ABV spirits that currently sit in the flavoured Tequila and Rum category. They bravely had a shot of local Tequila that was placed in front of them by the bartender, and both reluctantly looked at each other and their expressions said (when in Rome n all that).
