Mr Black Coffee Liqueur FAQ

What does Mr Black taste like?

Like I said, Mr Black pretty much tastes like boozy cold brew. On the nose, you’ll get chocolate, roasted coffee, and earthy notes. Tastewise, it’s dry with flavors of bitter espresso, more roasted coffee, and a hint of vanilla and chocolate.

What type of alcohol is in Mr Black?

Mr Black is made with Australian wheat vodka. The other three ingredients are coffee, water, and sugar.

What’s the ABV of Mr Black?

It’s 25% ABV. So it’s a little stronger than Kahlua, which is 20%, but not nearly as strong as plain vodka.

How much caffeine is in Mr Black?

Mr Black is the most caffeinated coffee liqueur on the market, with 1100mg of caffeine per liter.

How much does Mr Black Cost?

Mr Black is not too expensive, but it also isn’t cheap. It costs around $30 for 750ml, but this price will vary slightly depending on your state.

Is Mr Black vegan?

Yes! Mr Black is vegan, gluten-free, and certified kosher.

Does Mr Black need to be refrigerated?

It doesn’t have to be refrigerated, but it tastes best when it’s cold. It is boozy cold brew, after all!

Is Mr Black sweet?

Mr Black has half the sugar of other coffee liqueurs and is best described as bittersweet.

Mr Black vs Kahlua

Some of the most common questions about Mr Black revolve around how it compares to other coffee liqueurs, especially Kahlua.

Kahlua is perhaps the most popular coffee liqueur on the market, but it’s different from Mr Black in almost every aspect and the following are the key differences.

Caffeine Content

While Mr Black has 1100mg of caffeine per liter, Kahlua only has 100mg of caffeine per liter. This means Mr Black has 10x more caffeine than Kahlua!

Ingredients

Kahlua is made with Arabica coffee, sugar, vanilla, and rum. Mr Black is also made with Arabica coffee, but it has about half the sugar of Kahlua and instead of rum, it contains Australian wheat vodka.

So Kahlua is going to be sweeter and rum-based with notes of vanilla, while Mr Black is bittersweet and vodka-based.

Taste

Kahlua has strong notes of coffee and vanilla and is sweet and creamy in texture, while Mr Black is more bitter and tastes like actual cold brew.

Mr Black vs Kahlua: Which is better?

Ultimately, they’re very different products and the only real similarity is they’re made with coffee. So it comes down to your personal preferences!

If you like sweeter drinks, stick with Kahlua. If you want a little more bitterness and nuance in your coffee co*cktails though, Mr Black is the clear choice.

Now without further ado, let’s check out these bad-to-the-bean Mr Black co*cktails!

The espresso martini is one of the most popular co*cktails to make with Mr Black! While there are multiple ways to make an espresso martini, this recipe is my favorite and likely the most popular way.

White Russian Recipe

The White Russian co*cktail was invented in the early 1960s, and it had its heyday in the 90s after being popularized by the iconic film The Big Lebowski.

If you didn't see the movie, this classic co*cktail is made with vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream or milk. Using Mr Black results in a White Russian that's far less sweet and way more caffeinated, which is the best of both worlds!

This tasty riff on a White Russian involves making a chai tea infused vodka, which might sound intimidating, but couldn't be easier! You just steep chai tea in vodka for about 30 minutes, or until the chai tea flavor is to your liking. The other ingredients you need are just Mr Black and half & half.

It's spicy, warming, and perfect for the fall or winter!

Cold Irish Coffee

A classic Irish Coffee only contains four ingredients: coffee, Irishwhiskey, sugar, and cream. It can be served hot or over ice depending on your preference.

This specific recipe stays pretty true to the classic preparation, but it adds in Mr Black. Combine it with Irish whisky and coffee over ice, then garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of sugar.

Also, if you like your drinks a little sweeter, you can just add sugar while preparing the coffee.

Tiramisu co*cktail Recipe

This recipe has a secret ingredient that makes it taste like an actual tiramisu. You'll never guess it, so I'll go ahead and disclose that it's a teaspoon of mascarpone cheese.

Cheese in a co*cktail may sound weird -- because 99% of the time it would be -- but in this context, it makes all the sense in the world. It'll just add a subtle mascarpone flavor and creaminess, which results in a richer, more complex drink.

Other ingredients are Mr Black, Marsala wine, white creme de cacao, espresso, simple syrup, and chocolate bitters.

This recipe is perfect for the fall, and a fun way to mix up your co*cktail repertoire. It's made with Mr Black, mezcal, Cynar (an Italian bitter apéritif), and sweet vermouth.

So it's smoky from the mezcal, a bit bitter from the Cynar and vermouth, and the Mr Black adds richness with a punch of coffee flavor. Sweater weather in a glass!

I can’t even espresso how excited I am to try some of these co*cktails. (Sorry, had to!) Which of these Mr Black co*cktails do you want to whip up next?
