Café Solo Launches World-First PX Sherry Cask Coffee Liqueur

Café Solo today announces the global launch of a world-first Pedro Ximénez Sherry (PX) Cask Finished Coffee Liqueur. Café Solo PX is the first in a range of cask-finished coffee liqueurs to be released by the brand and the third expression that has launched this year in the Café Solo range, which includes the debut expression, Café Solo Original and Café Solo Espresso Martini Cans. Café Solo PX is available to the UK trade via Fortitude Drinks and to consumers via Amazon and cafesolo.co.uk at an RRP of £32.

Café Solo’s latest launch adds to their mission to shake up the UK’s coffee cocktail market and offers interest and complexity for mixologists shaking up cocktails in bars and at home. Ground with exceptional coffee, Café Solo is crafted with premium SOLO Cold Brew Coffee, which boasts a full-bodied flavour profile, rich acidity, and a refreshingly clean finish. Café Solo is matured in PX Sherry casks which impart residual sweetness and rich, dried-fruit notes.

Café Solo PX Cask Finished Coffee Liqueur is indulgent and dessert-like, with the PX Sherry Cask adding layers of sweetness, depth, and complexity. Café Solo PX offers notes of rich toffee, fig, walnut and lemon.

Made from the sun-dried Pedro Ximénez grapes (in Jerez Spain) PX Sherry is intensely sweet and rich, and Jerez’s unique terroir and tradition make PX sherry one-of-a-kind. PX casks are often repurposed to age or "finish" whiskies and other spirits, imparting their residual sweetness and rich, dried-fruit notes. These casks are prized for the intense flavours they impart, transforming the profiles of other liquids.

Café Solo PX is best enjoyed on the rocks, poured over ice cream or in a Café Solo PX-Presso Martini:

60ml Café Solo PX Cask | 30ml Espresso | 30ml Vodka 

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake. Pour into a coupe glass.

Café Solo Brand Manager Holly Harwood says: 

"We are delighted to launch our first Café Solo cask edition, which was inspired by an evening of enjoying delicious Espresso Martinis with added PX Sherry! We sourced our casks from Jerez, Spain, and I was lucky enough to witness the incredible craftsmanship at the Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage. PX sherry offers a wonderfully rich profile, and the combination of coffee with notes of dried fruit and caramel is truly something you need to try!"
