Mario’s Hard Espresso, USA, 56 proof ($36)

With a neutral grain spirit base, dark roast espresso, Madagascar vanilla, and cane sugar, this satin-textured liqueur is produced in small quantities, but we predict a surge of growth. On its own, it flows with dark chocolate flavors and a balanced coffee taste with absolutely no bitter edge. Founder Joe Grasso’s father’s recipe lives on.
