Production of the Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft

The base for the Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft is aromatic coffee. Carefully selected coffee beans provide intense roasted notes and depth. A strong coffee extract is made from these beans, which later forms the heart of the liqueur. This concentrated coffee element creates the typical dark color and distinctive taste.

Selected cocoa and flavor components are used for the cocoa and chocolate notes. They enhance the creamy side and bring richness to the flavor. The peppermint comes from a clearly defined flavor base. This introduces the fresh, cool note that is reminiscent of Berliner Luft. This creates the striking link between coffee and mint that makes this liqueur so unique.

The liqueur base is made from high-quality alcohol, water and sugar. This basic mixture carries the aromas and ensures the soft structure on the palate. The alcohol content of 15.0 percent by volume presents the aromas clearly without overpowering them. Colorants give the liqueur its rich, even hue. This creates a harmonious, appealing overall picture in the glass.

In the production process, after the creation of the flavor bases, comes the blending of all components. Coffee extract, peppermint components, cocoa elements, alcohol base and sugar are combined in large tanks. There, the liqueur matures for a certain period of time so that the individual aromas can merge. This resting makes the finish rounder and allows the various flavor profiles to mesh better.

Schilkin GmbH & Co. KG in Berlin shapes the character of the liqueur with experience and care. Modern technology is combined with traditional knowledge in handling aromas and liqueur production. Every batch undergoes strict controls so that color, aroma and taste remain consistently reliable. Only then does the finished liqueur make its way into the distinctive 0.7-liter bottle.

The Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft also carries information such as gluten-free and notes on ingredients. It contains colorants and soy. This way, every discerning connoisseur can find the right information for a conscious purchase. The clear declaration underlines the commitment to transparency and quality.

Tasting recommendations for the Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft

The Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft already shows its best side when enjoyed neat. Served on the rocks in a tumbler, it unfolds its coffee and cocoa notes intensely, while the peppermint sets fresh accents. A small sprig of mint or a coffee bean in the glass makes a simple yet effective garnish.

For a quick, impressive drink, a “Minty Espresso Shot” is ideal. To make it, chill the liqueur well, pour it into a shot glass and, if desired, gently float it over a freshly pulled espresso using a spoon. This creates a two-layered enjoyment with hot espresso at the bottom and cool coffee liqueur with peppermint on top. When drinking, the two layers mix and create an intense coffee-mint experience.

A dessert cocktail is the “Berliner Coffee Dream”. To prepare it, put ice cubes into a shaker, add 4 cl of Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft and 2 cl of cream. Shake vigorously and strain into a well-chilled cocktail glass. Top with fine cocoa shavings or grated chocolate. This drink is reminiscent of a liquid coffee dessert with gentle mint freshness.

The liqueur also plays to its strengths with milk or plant-based drinks. For an “Iced Mint Coffee”, fill a long drink glass with ice cubes, pour 5 cl of liqueur over them and top up with cold milk or oat drink. Stir gently, serve with a straw and garnish with a mint leaf and some cocoa powder if desired. The result is creamy, aromatic and ideal for relaxed evenings.

In the cold season, the liqueur also fits into warm indulgent moments. Pour a strong filter coffee or Americano into a large cup, add about 3 cl of Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft and stir. Top with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles if desired. This creates an aromatic coffee with gentle sweetness and a refreshing mint note.

For food pairing, the liqueur harmonizes with chocolate cake, brownies, mousse au chocolat or tiramisu. Pastries with nuts or caramel also go perfectly with it. An exciting combination arises with ice cream: put vanilla or chocolate ice cream in a dessert glass and pour a shot of liqueur over it. This turns a simple ice cream into a more sophisticated dessert with a coffee-mint twist.

Whether neat, on the rocks, in a dessert cocktail or as a crowning touch over ice cream: the Cold Coffee Coffee Liqueur with Peppermint from Berliner Luft invites you to enjoy creative moments and brings a touch of the capital into your glass.
