We’ve coated varied spirits from Jackson, Mississippi-based Cathead on a number of events — together with the whole lot from whiskey to gin — however that is solely the second vodka from the operation that we’ve tasted, following its Pecan Flavored Vodka.
Hoodoo isn’t formally a liqueur however an espresso flavored vodka, made with espresso from Northshore Specialty Espresso, which makes use of single property beans from Nicaragua to craft the espresso that goes into this spirit. The completed product incorporates 50mg of caffeine per 1.5 oz serving, with no different substances listed on the label, although demerara sugar is added to sweeten it up.
For all intents and functions that is an espresso martini in a bottle, although you might also observe Hoodoo’s serving suggestion by shaking it with a small quantity of milk so as to add some creaminess to the expertise.
Hoodoo Espresso Vodka Assessment
Nice nostril right here: It smells like contemporary espresso, frivolously sweetened. Wealthy aromas of floor espresso beans pop immediately, providing a barely mocha-heavy character, with darkish chocolate notes lingering.
The palate doesn’t actually change the sport, although the added sugar is instantly noticeable and, maybe, a bit too heavy for my style. The espresso taste is intense however not as sturdy because the nostril connotes, extra drip espresso than a basic espresso expertise. Gently fruity with some cherry notes, the end leans towards marzipan and, eventually, a bittersweet chocolate ingredient, dusted with brown sugar crystals.
All instructed, it’s one of many higher batched espresso martinis I’ve tasted to this point. Those that don’t thoughts a little bit further sweetness will completely love this.
