Consider this coffee liqueur from California’s Tempus Fugit Spirits for your next round. It opens with violet floral aromas, transitions to sweet baking spice at first sip, before bitterness arrives on the mid-palate. Expect measured sweetness, rich coffee flavor, and robust body, all from a 1755-inspired recipe.

If Negronis aren’t your thing, we still recommend giving this one a try — its subtle bitterness is the perfect option for those who tend to steer clear of red amari. Bursting with red and dark fruit, clove spice, bitter citrus peel, and a bouquet of botanicals, if you blinded us with this cocktail, we’d think it was freshly stirred up.
