Two James Spirits Coffee Liqueur
Two James Spirits Coffee Liqueur is Detroit's answer to the after-dinner pour: a low-proof liqueur (25.8 proof / 12.9% ABV) built on the distillery's own 28 Island Vodka, blended with locally roasted coffee, cane sugar and vanilla, in a 750mL bottle. It is coffee-forward without being heavy — silky, aromatic, and genuinely sippable on its own. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

From Detroit's First Post-Prohibition Distillery
Two James set up in Corktown as Detroit's first licensed distillery since Prohibition, and this coffee liqueur is one of its most versatile creations. The base is 28 Island Vodka — made from 100% organic winter wheat — which lets the locally roasted coffee shine: cinnamon, marzipan and honey on the nose, robust coffee and cocoa nibs on the finish.

Tasting Notes
Aromatic nose of cinnamon, lemon peel and marzipan. The palate is silky — honey, vanilla, figs and dates over a core of robust coffee and cocoa nibs, with a gentle ginger and rye-bread spice note. The finish is smooth and sweet: coffee, vanilla and cane sugar.
How to Enjoy
Excellent chilled and sipped neat as a digestif, poured over ice, or as the soul of an Espresso Martini — the low proof keeps cocktails balanced rather than boozy. It also elevates a White Russian or a simple coffee-and-cream nightcap.
