I was thinking of making a coffee liqueur with the Espresso Natalia gave me and I google searched to see how it is made. I have made liqueurs in the past so I knew the procedure but still I wanted to see if there was something more to do. I found this recipe and since I had a lot of brandies in my bar, I liked the idea of making it with brandy. I also had dark rum so I used some of that as well.
The same day I was planning to make the liqueur, I was already preparing another cake recipe in which I was using some of the cherries I had made and then the idea popped into my mind…
The recipe is included in my cookbook Mint, Cinnamon & Blossom Water, Flavours of Cyprus, Kopiaste!
I have already thought of a few ideas of using it, if it lasts until then, because we love it.

A liqueur in five minutes!? That's awesome! I used to think that liqueurs need more time to prepare, I never knew it can be done so quickly. Thanks for this idea. Now, we can have a drink anytime we want it! ;)
