Grind Espresso Shot Mocha Liqueur
Grind Espresso Shot Mocha Liqueur is a 30% ABV (60 proof), 750mL espresso-rum liqueur — medium-roasted Colombian Arabica espresso blended with smooth Caribbean rum and decadent mocha flavor — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Grind was built by baristas and bartenders chasing a genuine espresso-shot flavor in a bottle, and they got there by doing what other coffee liqueurs don't: building the base on Caribbean rum instead of neutral vodka. The rum's molasses warmth and gentle spice wrap around the espresso, and this mocha expression layers in rich chocolate flavor for a dessert-like twist on the classic coffee liqueur. (Note: despite an old tag on this page, Grind is not a cream liqueur — it is rum-based.)
Tasting notes: Dark roast espresso, cocoa powder and vanilla bean on the nose. The palate brings mocha cream and toasted caramel over subtle rum warmth, finishing silky and sweet with lingering coffeehouse depth.
Why buy it at Del Mesa Liquor? Mocha is the dessert-drink upgrade of the Grind line — an espresso martini that needs no added chocolate, a mocha White Russian, or a chilled shot that drinks like a liquid mocha latte. At 60 proof it stands up in cocktails where weaker coffee liqueurs fade. Pair it with our cocktail-ready picks and order online for fast shipping from San Diego.
Serving suggestion: Shake 2 oz with 1 oz vodka and ice for a mocha espresso martini, or pour over vanilla ice cream for an instant mocha affogato.
