Mr. Black

Mr Black is a spirited coffee company producing premium Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur designed for the modern cocktail culture. The brand sits at the intersection of specialty coffee and craft spirits, positioning itself as a premium alternative to traditional coffee liqueurs in the on-premise and off-premise beverage markets.

At the core of the product is a commitment to authentic, high-quality coffee sourcing. The company uses 100% Arabica beans of specialty grade, sourced from two distinct origins: the Popayan Reserve in Colombia and the Guji Region in Ethiopia. The Colombian beans undergo a washed process, while the Ethiopian beans are naturally processed, contributing a layered and complex flavor profile characterized by tasting notes of dark chocolate, marmalade, and dried fig.

The production process begins with roasting the beans in-house to both medium and dark roast profiles, allowing the company to develop its own house roast before extraction. Coffee is then extracted via a cold brew method, which the company credits for preserving the depth and complexity of the roast while delivering a smooth, refined finish. The resulting cold brew concentrate is fortified with vodka to create a liqueur that sits at 25% ABV, available in the standard 750mL format.

Mr Black is explicitly crafted for the cocktail market, with the Espresso Martini and Coffee Negroni among its signature serve suggestions. The brand provides a Coffee Cocktail Compendium of recipes that extend into categories such as tiki-inspired drinks, underscoring its versatility behind the bar. The product is recommended for consumption neat, on the rocks, or as a base or modifier in contemporary cocktail builds.

The brand has garnered recognition from prominent media and trade outlets, including CNN and Vinepair, and has been noted as a staple at leading bars globally. Its positioning as a specialty-grade coffee liqueur differentiates it from conventional liqueur competitors, targeting both bartenders and discerning at-home consumers who value provenance, process transparency, and flavor authenticity. Mr Black operates in the United States market and distributes through regional delivery channels.
