Better Late "Coffee Break" Coffee Liqueur

Better Late is a small-batch organic amaro made in Los Angeles by Ciana and Ben, two Italian East Coasters (Ciana is 50% Sicilian, Ben grew up in New Jersey) who founded the only Black-owned amaro company in the US. The company takes inclusion and community very seriously while taking everything else less seriously, creating what they call the most fun amaro brand you'll ever meet. Their botanicals are responsibly sourced from around the world and sometimes from their actual backyard, hand foraged whenever possible, and minimally filtered to let the fresh botanicals shine. Better Late amaro is made with just roots, herbs, dried fruit, spices, and non-GMO neutral grain spirit with no additives.

"Coffee Break" is their love letter to the caffeine sensitive community, featuring decaffeinated arabica coffee beans from their friends at Obet & Del's, Madagascar vanilla, cardamom, and a gentle kick of ginger. The flavor profile is designed to help you party until 3am and still fall asleep by 3:30. Bottled at 24% ABV, it sits at a lower alcohol content than traditional liqueurs, which means chiller nights and the option to enjoy it in different ways. When topped with seltzer, the ABV drops to less than a glass of wine but tastes way more complex.

This is a perfectly balanced cocktail in exactly one pour. Drink it straight with a twist, add a splash of something bubbly, or use it in your favorite coffee cocktails. Made for lingering, designed for those who want all the complexity of a coffee liqueur without the caffeine jitters, and handcrafted with love in LA.
