The West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is a premium English coffee liqueur created for anyone who loves rich coffee flavour, smooth sweetness and easy cocktail serves.

The Story Behind West Midlands Distillery
West Midlands Distillery is an English craft distillery producing a growing range of spirits, including gin, vodka, rum, whisky and liqueurs. Built around quality ingredients and small-batch production, the distillery has developed a strong local identity while creating spirits that are designed for modern drinkers.
The wider West Midlands Distillery collection at HTFW includes a variety of products, from English vodka and gin to rum, liqueurs and English single malt whisky. This makes the distillery an interesting name for customers who enjoy discovering smaller producers alongside more established global brands.
The Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur fits naturally into that range, combining the distillery’s English pot-distilled vodka with carefully prepared cold brew coffee and natural flavour ingredients.
What Is West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur?
The West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is a coffee liqueur made using premium English pot-distilled vodka as its base. That vodka is combined with 16-hour cold brew coffee made from 100% Arabica beans, then balanced with Madagascan vanilla and organic blossom syrup.
Cold brew coffee gives the liqueur a smoother and less harsh coffee profile than some hot-brewed coffee-based drinks. The slow extraction helps create rounded coffee depth, while the vanilla and blossom syrup add softness and sweetness without taking away from the roasted coffee character.
The result is a rich, smooth and cocktail-friendly liqueur that works well chilled, shaken, served over ice or mixed into coffee-led cocktails.
Made for the Perfect Espresso Martini
One of the main appeals of this liqueur is how easy it makes an Espresso Martini. A traditional Espresso Martini usually requires vodka, coffee liqueur, fresh espresso and sugar syrup. This bottle simplifies the serve by combining the vodka, coffee and sweetness into one product.
To make an easy Espresso Martini, use 75ml of West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur with 25ml of water, then shake hard with ice and strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. The result is a smooth, coffee-rich cocktail with a creamy head and a balanced finish.
For home cocktail making, that simplicity is a major advantage. It removes the need for multiple bottles or freshly brewed espresso, making it ideal for entertaining, after-dinner drinks and quick premium serves.
The Liqueur Inside the Bottle
This coffee liqueur is built around real coffee flavour rather than simple sweetness. The 16-hour cold brew process gives the drink roasted depth, while the Arabica beans bring smoothness and aromatic character. Madagascan vanilla adds warmth and softness, and the organic blossom syrup gives gentle sweetness.
At 21.7% ABV, it has enough strength to hold up in cocktails but remains approachable and easy to serve. It is richer and more indulgent than a standard spirit, but more versatile than many dessert-style liqueurs because the coffee flavour remains central.
For customers who enjoy coffee cocktails, this bottle sits naturally alongside other liqueurs in the wider HTFW liqueurs collection, including cream liqueurs, fruit liqueurs, herbal liqueurs and cocktail-friendly bottles.

These tasting notes make the West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur a strong choice for those who enjoy coffee liqueurs with real roast character, smooth texture and balanced sweetness.
Why Cold Brew Coffee Works So Well in Liqueur
Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee slowly in cold water rather than brewing it quickly with heat. This slow extraction can produce a smoother, rounder and less bitter coffee profile, which works particularly well in liqueurs and cocktails.
In this bottle, the 16-hour cold brew helps create a soft but intense coffee base. It brings roasted depth without harshness, allowing the Madagascan vanilla and blossom syrup to complement the coffee rather than cover it.
That balance is what makes the West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur so versatile. It can be used for a quick Espresso Martini, enjoyed over ice or added to richer dessert-style cocktails.

A Great Gift for Coffee and Cocktail Lovers
The West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur makes a strong gift for anyone who enjoys coffee, cocktails or modern English craft spirits. It is easy to understand, simple to serve and offers a more premium feel than many standard coffee liqueurs.

Coffee Liqueur vs Traditional Liqueurs
Coffee liqueur has a different role from many fruit or cream liqueurs. It works both as a standalone drink and as a cocktail ingredient, especially in modern classics such as the Espresso Martini and White Russian.
The West Midlands Distillery Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is especially useful because it has been built with cocktail making in mind. The combination of vodka, cold brew coffee, vanilla and syrup means it already contains several key elements needed for a balanced coffee cocktail.
Compared with heavier cream liqueurs, it feels more flexible. Compared with simple coffee-flavoured spirits, it has more depth from the cold brew and Arabica bean base.
