Single Producer Coffee, Fortified.
Grada Coffee + Spirit is designed with one purpose; to bring great single-producer coffee into the world of spirits and cocktails. Use Grada wherever you’d use coffee or coffee liqueur in a cocktail, or shake over ice for the perfect Espresso Martini, no other ingredients necessary.
GRADA honours the enterprise of growing, sourcing, roasting and brewing great coffee.
What is a Coffee + Spirit?
Honestly, we made it up. But for a good reason - Grada doesn’t currently fit into any category that exists on the bottle shop shelves. We started as a coffee company that sourced and roasted truly exceptional single-estate beans, and when we wanted to break into booze we kept that central to what we created.
So it’s coffee-first and coffee-driven.
Everything else that exists in Grada (only two other ingredients; Australian grain spirit and sugar) plays a supporting role. We use neutral grain at 96% so we can fit more coffee inside and less volume is given to spirit, while sugar is simply there to dial up the flavour - just like you add salt to your food.
