My first approach to the world of coffee almost 6 years ago was being able to perceive delicate floral, frutal, herbal, etc. flavours on coffee based drinks such as hot or cold brews and recreating that experience was the goal with this creation.

Cocktail Inspiration

A-43 is inspired on the flavour profile of a homemade soda I made with apricot and agave (agaves syrup and mezcal) and the similarities I found with the flavour profile of Licor 43.
