VIVIR Café VS Tequila

VIVIR Café VS: A Rich Mexican Tequila Coffee Liqueur

VIVIR Café VS is an indulgent tequila-based coffee liqueur that combines the character of VIVIR Tequila Blanco with rich Mexican coffee flavours. Crafted at Casa Maestri in Jalisco, Mexico, it is made using 100% Blue Weber Agave Tequila Blanco, locally sourced Mexican coffee beans and piloncillo, a traditional Mexican cane sugar. Bottled at 30% ABV, Café VS delivers a distinctive combination of rich coffee intensity, gentle sweetness and a subtle agave finish.

On the nose, VIVIR Café VS is rich and aromatic, led by freshly roasted coffee with underlying hints of agave and gentle sweetness. The palate is full-bodied and indulgent, bringing together deep coffee character with earthy herbal nuances and the smooth warmth of its tequila base. Piloncillo adds a rounded natural sweetness, while the agave remains present beneath the coffee rather than being completely hidden. The finish is rich and lingering, leaving a satisfying combination of roasted coffee and subtle agave.

VIVIR Café VS begins with VIVIR's Blanco Tequila, made from mature Blue Weber Agave grown in the highlands of Mexico. VIVIR uses traditional hornos, or brick ovens, to roast its agave and natural water from a volcanic spring at its Jalisco distillery. For Café VS, the tequila is then combined with locally sourced Mexican coffee beans and sweetened with piloncillo, creating a distinctly Mexican take on the classic coffee liqueur style.

The combination of tequila and coffee gives Café VS a character that is both familiar and distinctive. Rich roasted coffee provides the dominant flavour, while the 100% agave tequila base contributes subtle vegetal and earthy notes. The natural cane sweetness rounds out the palate without taking away from the coffee's intensity, making it suitable for sipping as well as mixing into indulgent cocktails.

VIVIR Café VS can be enjoyed neat, over ice or as an after-dinner drink. It is particularly well suited to coffee-based cocktails, with the producer highlighting its use in an Espresso Martini. It can also be combined with freshly brewed espresso and cream for a Mexican-inspired coffee serve, or poured over premium vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a simple dessert pairing.

For food pairing, VIVIR Café VS is an excellent match for chocolate desserts, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, brownies and coffee-flavoured pastries. Its roasted coffee character also complements vanilla ice cream, caramel desserts, nuts and rich cream-based sweets. Served after dinner, it works naturally alongside dark chocolate and other desserts with roasted, cocoa or coffee flavours.

Whether enjoyed over ice after dinner in Jumeirah, mixed into an Espresso Martini in Dubai Marina, or poured over dessert in Downtown Dubai, VIVIR Café VS brings together Mexican tequila and coffee in an indulgent serve. It is equally suited to gatherings around Palm Jumeirah, Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, or relaxed after-dinner occasions across Al Maryah Island and Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi.
