Slightly Sinister. Seriously Good Coffee.

Locally roasted coffee. Whole vanilla beans. Pacific Northwest wheat spirit. Made from scratch in Bellingham.

A great coffee liqueur should start with great coffee. Ours begins just down the road at Tony’s Coffee, a Bellingham roaster since 1971 and Roast Magazine’s 2021 Roaster of the Year.

We use Tony’s Coffeehouse Blend, a bold Italian-style dark roast made from high-quality Central and South American coffees. Back at the distillery, we turn it into cold brew ourselves, extracting it slowly to capture the coffee’s deep, roasty character while keeping bitterness in check.

Then we build a spirit worthy of the coffee.

Rather than starting with the corn-based neutral spirit commonly used for liqueurs, we distill our base spirit from Pacific Northwest wheat. It costs more to make, but its clean, soft character provides exactly the foundation we want: enough structure to carry the coffee while staying out of its way.

For vanilla, we skip syrups and artificial flavorings entirely. Whole vanilla beans are slowly infused into the liqueur, adding natural warmth and depth that develops with time.

No imitation vanilla. No artificial flavors. No rushing the process.

Finally, we add just enough real cane sugar to not bury the coffee in sweetness, but to balance its natural bitterness and bring the ingredients together.

The finished liqueur is dark, rich and unmistakably coffee-forward, with roasted coffee up front, real vanilla underneath and just enough sweetness to round the edges.

Tony’s coffee. Cold brewed at our distillery. Whole vanilla beans. Pacific Northwest wheat spirit. Cane sugar. That’s how we make coffee liqueur in Bellingham.

How to Drink It

Krampus Coffee Liqueur works beautifully neat or over ice, but it was made for a little mischief. Add it to coffee or hot chocolate, pair it with cream, pour it over vanilla ice cream, or put it to work in an espresso martini.

An Award-Winning Recipe

The name may be new, but the liquid has already proved itself. Krampus Coffee Liqueur is made from the same recipe we previously bottled as Old Busker Coffee Liqueur, winner of gold medals at the New York International Spirits Competition, USA Spirits Competition, Bartender Spirit Awards and Seattle International Spirits Awards.
