History

This tequila-infused coffee cocktail is relatively low in alcohol and serves well as either an aperitif or a digestive. Having been a longtime trustee of the UK's drinks industry charity, formerly known as The Benevolent, the name of this cocktail initially attracted attention. The Benevolent was established in 1986 to offer support to individuals within the drinks industry facing hardship. In March 2020, its name was changed to the Drinks Trust to more accurately reflect its mission.

Justin Campbell created this recipe for the restaurant Mason in Santa Monica, USA.
