Process & Production
Borghetti Espresso Liqueur is produced using a carefully selected blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. The beans are roasted and ground before being used to prepare authentic Italian espresso in large-scale coffee makers, preserving the intensity and aromatic character associated with traditional Italian coffee.
The freshly prepared espresso is then combined with alcohol and sugar according to Borghetti's historic recipe. Rather than simply relying on coffee flavoring, the use of actual brewed espresso gives Borghetti its distinctive roasted coffee character, full-bodied texture, and unmistakable aroma.
The brand continues to follow the original production approach established in the 19th century, creating a liqueur that captures the character of true Italian espresso.

Its carefully selected combination of Arabica and Robusta beans creates a balance between aromatic complexity, body, and the bold roasted character expected from a traditional espresso.
The recipe dates back to 1860 and continues to be produced using the same fundamental method, including the preparation of espresso in large coffee makers. This dedication to authentic coffee preparation has helped make Borghetti one of Italy's most recognizable espresso liqueurs.
Its bold coffee profile also makes Borghetti particularly well suited for an Espresso Martini, providing both espresso character and sweetness in a single ingredient.
