Arak\u00fa, rum and coffee liqueur.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Today is National Coffee Day. To celebrate, I\u2019m posting this review of the best coffee liquor ever. Named Arak\u00fa<\/i> to pay tribute to native inhabitants of Aragua state in my home country, it\u2019s a must not only in my bar but also in my kitchen where it\u2019s an ingredient to savory dishes and desserts.<\/p>\n

Arak\u00fa<\/em> is the result of combining a\u00f1ejos, aged for two years in white American oak barrels, with a refined yet powerful Arabica coffee infusion.<\/p>\n

It is totally elaborated at the Hacienda Santa Teresa where they grow and process all the ingredients, including the Arabica coffee beans that they farm on the mountains above Hacienda since colonial times.<\/p>\n

Following are the tasting notes that I wrote as part of my job for Ron Santa Teresa<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Tasting Note<\/b>s
\nTo the sight<\/b>: roast coffee color, dense and bright.
\nTo the nose<\/b>: roast coffee aroma, creamy with light vanilla-like notes, wood.
\nTo the palate<\/b>: creamy coffee, sweet, robust body, balanced, sticky, smooth.<\/p>\n

Recipes with Arak\u00fa<\/i> in this blog include:
\nBrave Bull\u00a0<\/a>
\nSpiked Hot Chocolate<\/a>
\nSpiked Bicerin<\/a>
\nVenezuelan Cappuccino<\/a>
\nThe Black Swan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Arak\u00fa, rum and coffee liqueur combines aged rum with a refined yet powerful Arabica coffee infusion.
