Coffee liqueur "MOKKA"
Mocha (or Moko) means many things: 1) a chocolate-coffee drink; 2) a port city in Yemen, which is famous for its coffee market; 3) type of coffee bean; and 4) a stovetop espresso maker, first manufactured by Bialetti Industries in 1933. This coffee-chocolate liqueur (let's call it a rarer interpretation of the translation of the Yemenite Mokha / Mocha - Mocha) could be inspired by any of the above. And if you choose to cook it with real Yemeni Moka grain, you will only support the overall concept.
Similar to the relationship between coffee and roasted hazelnuts, coffee and cocoa beans (look for crushed roasted cocoa beans in health food stores) share many flavor characteristics, including a balance of acidity and bitterness, fire-roasted flavors, and a affinity for the sugar that makes them especially pleasant in this liqueur.
- 350 ml quality vodka
- 350 ml fruit brandy
- 100 g roasted crushed cocoa beans
- 100 g medium roast coffee beans
- 300 ml brown sugar simple syrup
Roughly crush the coffee and cocoa, pour into a liter jar and add alcohol. Mix thoroughly, close the jar tightly and put it in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days. When you are satisfied with the taste, strain through a sieve, filter and add syrup made from equal parts of water and high-quality brown cane sugar. Leave it for 2-3 weeks and you can try. Store in a dark cupboard and use within 6 months.
Instructions for use : Shake in a shaker with ice - instant Mocha Martini!

How to drink liqueur correctly?
Before buying liqueur, it is better to decide in advance for what purpose and what flavor you want to purchase the drink. It is worth understanding that liqueurs are different from other alcoholic drinks. They should not be drunk like cognac or whiskey, dulling them with a snack.
The liqueur has a pronounced taste, which the snack can spoil. In addition, it is very sweet, so you should drink it after the main meal in small portions of 30 ml. The volume of drink consumed per day should not exceed 100 ml.
The use of liqueur as a base for cocktails is very popular. Here you can already afford a little more, but don’t overdo it.
Let alcohol only slightly warm up the mood, but do not lead to poisoning and negative consequences the next morning.
