Mario's Hard Espresso
Mario's Hard Espresso features a "true espresso" recipe that makes it Crazy Delicious.
We handcraft every bottle of Mario’s Hard Espresso starting with Triple-Distilled, 196-proof Grain Neutral Spirit. It’s pure, clean and super smooth and imparts no unwanted alcohol flavors, like what happens in other coffee liqueurs made with a low-proof vodka, tequila or rum. This pure spirit base allows the rich, delicious flavors of the 100% Arabica Dark Roast Espresso, Organic Madagascar Vanilla and a touch of Cane Sugar to balance beautifully, and really come through for a rich and complex flavor profile. It’s also what makes Mario’s so incredibly versatile as a delicious addition to cocktails made with whiskey, bourbon, rum, mezcal, vodka and tequila. Cheers!
The Mario's Story
The fine specimen on our label? That's my father, Mario. His killer physique? That's from hard work... “farm-ripped" as we like to say.
​
Mario worked hard - loved hard - and lived a life overflowing with family and friends. And each Christmas, using a secret Sicilian family recipe and a lot of love, he would make up a small batch of his famous hard espresso as a special gift. If you were lucky enough to get one, you cherished that bottle as long as you could knowing it would be a whole year until you got a shot at another.
​
Every bottle we make contains Mario's secret recipe... handcrafted with the same love and care he put into every one of his. And just like my dad's original, it's delicious... crazy delicious if I do say so myself.
​
So from Mario's family to yours, we invite you to Live Hard - Love Hard and Cherish every moment with family and friends. And having a bottle of MARIO'S HARD ESPRESSO on hand helps make it all a little sweeter. - Pensa Salute'!
