Paranubes Cafe de Olla Licor
Rooted in the highlands of Oaxaca, Paranubes Café de Olla is a handcrafted coffee liqueur that captures the warmth and soul of Mexican tradition. It begins with Paranubes Rum, distilled by José Luis Carrera, a third-generation master distiller in Río Tuerto, Oaxaca, whose family has been making pure cane juice rum for over a century.
Cane grown in ancestral fields of the Sierra Mazateca is hand-cut and pressed within 24 hours to preserve its bright, grassy character. The fresh juice undergoes wild fermentation in 1,100-liter pine vats before a single-run distillation on a six-plate copper column still — yielding a raw, expressive aguardiente de caña that forms the heart of this liqueur.
Local Oaxacan coffee — grown, medium roasted, and cold-brewed — is blended with this fresh cane spirit. It’s then infused with raw panela sugar, Ceylon cinnamon (known locally as Mexican cinnamon), wild vanilla, avocado leaf, rosita de cacao, and traditional Oaxacan spices. Each batch is rested briefly with red Oaxacan clay, adding a subtle earthiness and a connection to the centuries-old tradition of café de olla — coffee brewed in clay pots with cinnamon and unrefined sugar.
The result is a deeply aromatic, slightly spiced coffee liqueur with notes of dark roast, brown sugar, and warm cinnamon — a liquid tribute to Oaxaca’s culinary and cultural heritage.
Serve neat, over ice, or in your favorite coffee cocktail.
