Better for you ingredients
Most coffee liqueurs are loaded with sugar. Estate 98 has less than 1g per ounce — the lowest of any coffee spirit on the market.
Tasting Notes
Dark chocolate notes balanced by a bright tangerine acidity, Estate 98 delivers a rich coffee-forward flavor profile.
How To Use
Enjoy it neat or over ice to appreciate its depth and balance, or mix 1–2 oz into cocktails such as an espresso martini, carajillo, or a refreshing tonic or spritz.
Coffee
We craft Estate 98 from 100% Ancestral Coffee — high-grown Arabica Bourbon beans, naturally honey-processed for rich, nuanced flavor.
Sustainability
Our coffee is cultivated under shade-grown trees, which enhance the beans with flavor and reflect the unique terroir of El Salvador’s volcanic lands, while providing a habitat for thousands of birds and other species.
Where we ship to
We ship to 42 US states, but unfortunately, no matter how much we would love to, we are not able to ship our licor to Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Tennessee, or Utah. If you think this is as dumb as we do, please contact your state representative and tell them, too. ❤️

Frequently asked questions
How is Estate 98 made?
Estate 98 is crafted in small batches to honor the rich connection between coffee and spirit. Inspired by our ancestors’ Esencia de café recipe, we start with 100% single-estate coffee grown at the foothills of the Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador. The beans are carefully roasted and extracted using a proprietary process that preserves the coffee’s best natural compounds — caffeine, antioxidants, and aromatic oils — resulting in a smooth, vibrant flavor that stays true to its roots.
Our coffee extract is then blended with a neutral pure cane spirit and just a touch of sugar to round out the flavor. The result is a bold, modern coffee liqueur that tastes clean, balanced, and authentic—without the syrupy heaviness found in most mass-produced brands.
What is the ABV (alcohol content)?
What is the ABV (alcohol content)?
Estate 98 has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 25%. This strikes the perfect balance to allow the coffee to shine and strong enough to shine in cocktails.
How much sugar is in it?
Estate 98 was designed to be lighter and less sweet than traditional coffee liqueurs. Each ounce contains less than 1 gram of sugar, making it one of the lowest-sugar options in the category. The natural sweetness comes primarily from the coffee itself, rather than heavy syrups or additives.
Tasting Notes
Estate 98 opens with deep, bittersweet notes of dark chocolate, balanced by a bright, citrusy tangerine acidity that lifts the palate. The combination creates a layered flavor profile—rich and indulgent at first, then clean and refreshing on the finish. This harmony of boldness and brightness makes Estate 98 versatile: smooth enough to sip neat, yet complex enough to elevate any cocktail.
How much caffeine does it contain?
Each ounce of Estate 98 has about the same natural caffeine as a shot of espresso. A typical 2 oz pour gives a smooth boost, similar to an average cup of coffee, without feeling overpowering. It’s the perfect balance of energy and enjoyment in every sip.
What Makes Estate 98 Different?
Unlike traditional coffee liqueurs, Estate 98 was designed with both flavor and function in mind. It’s crafted with single-estate Salvadoran coffee, low in sugar, and naturally higher in caffeine—making it bold, balanced, and true to the essence of coffee.
One of the biggest advantages? You don’t need to pull a fresh espresso shot or add coffee in addition to the coffee liqueur to make a coffee cocktail. Estate 98 is concentrated enough to deliver authentic coffee flavor, body, and crema-like foam when shaken, without the bitterness or inconsistency that comes from brewing on the spot. This means you can make a bar-quality espresso martini—or any coffee-based cocktail—quickly, easily, and with perfect results every time.
What is the best way to enjoy Estate 98?
Estate 98 is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. For a pure experience, sip it neat or over ice to appreciate the natural coffee flavors. For something livelier, it’s excellent as a chilled shot or mixed into cocktails like an espresso martini, a White Russian, carajillo or even a refreshing tonic.
How much should I use for cocktails?
Most cocktail recipes call for 1–2 ounces of Estate 98, depending on the drink and your personal taste. For example, an espresso martini typically uses 1.5 ounces, while a simple coffee highball might only need 1 ounce to shine.
How do I get foam in my coffee cocktails?
The foam in coffee cocktails, like the espresso martini, comes from aeration. Combine Estate 98 with your other ingredients in a shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds. The shaking emulsifies the oils in the coffee and creates a rich, velvety foam that settles beautifully on top of the drink.
How many espresso martinis or coffee cocktails can I make with one bottle?
Using our Two Step Espresso Martini recipe, each bottle of Estate 98 makes about 15 to 16 cocktails. The recipe calls for 1.5 oz per serve, so you'll have plenty to share depending on your pour size.
