If you were ever a fan of the coffee-flavoured tequila Café Patrón XO (now discontinued), this infused tequilla is a decent replica. Coffee beans gently infuse into tequila over time, while hazelnuts, vanilla and sugar ound out the flavour. Absolutely delicious over ice in the sun.

Next time, try our candied bacon-infused bourbon.

Makes about 700ml
Hands-on time 5 min, plus at least 2 weeks infusing

Method

Put the coffee beans, vanilla pod, hazelnuts and sugar in the jar and pour over the tequila. Seal and leave in a cool dark place for at least a week.
