Mr Black Coffee Liqueur is the cold brew coffee liqueur that’s taken the world by storm—crafted in Australia, celebrated globally, and now a staple on the back bars of the world’s best venues. Founded in 2013 by designer Tom Baker and master distiller Philip Moore, Mr Black was born from a shared obsession: to bring Australia’s craft coffee culture into the night. Their mission was simple—create a liqueur that actually tastes like coffee, not syrup.]
Made at their roastery and distillery in Wyong, just north of Sydney, Mr Black uses a blend of single-origin Arabica beans, roasted in-house and cold brewed for ten hours to extract maximum flavour. The result is a rich, bittersweet liqueur with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and a whisper of citrus—ten times the coffee and half the sugar of traditional coffee liqueurs. It’s bold, balanced, and endlessly versatile.
That clarity of flavour has made Mr Black the coffee liqueur of choice for bartenders from Sydney to London to New York. At Cocktails in the City, Mr Black is making its mark at the Coffee Cocktails 2.0 stand, where it’s being used to reimagine what coffee in cocktails can be. Think beyond the espresso martini—this is coffee as a canvas for creativity. Venues like Disrepute, Archive & Myth, and Viajante87 are leading the charge, each bringing their own flair to Mr Black serves. Whether it’s a smoky mezcal twist, a story-driven serve, or a Latin-inspired highball, Mr Black provides the backbone for bold, expressive drinks.
It’s not just a liqueur—it’s a movement. One that celebrates craftsmanship, flavour, and the joy of a well-made drink. From brunch to nightcap, Mr Black is coffee, redefined. See you at the bar.
