COFFEE LIQUEUR (CAPE VERDE ISLANDS) LICOR DE CAFE
In the Cape Verde Islands, this cordial might be made with cane brandy made with sugar cane grown on the island, but white rum is more available. If you can find Brazilian cachaca, that works well. Ethiopian coffee beans are especially good for this cordial. Note: the liqueur requires a 3 week aging process before consumption.
