Antica Distilleria Sibona Liquore Caffè & Cacao
CONCENTRATED ARABICA ESPRESSO AND CRUSHED CACAO BEAN, SLOW-INFUSED TO AN ORIGINAL SIBONA RECIPE. DARK, RICH AND GENUINELY HARD TO PUT DOWN.
Coffee and chocolate is one of the great flavour combinations — and Sibona has done it properly. Concentrated Arabica espresso and crushed cacao bean, slow-infused in alcohol to an original Sibona recipe that gives each ingredient the time it needs to express itself fully.
The result is deep, dark and aromatic — intense coffee up front, with the cacao building underneath in a way that feels more like dark chocolate than dessert syrup. Velvety texture, balanced sweetness, and a finish that lingers with real intent.
At 20% ABV it sits comfortably as a digestivo, an after-dinner pour, or the backbone of a very good Espresso Martini. Straightforward in concept, quietly exceptional in execution.
Tasting notes
Deep dark brown in the glass. The nose is immediate and inviting — freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate and a quiet suggestion of vanilla.
On the palate, the texture is velvety and the sweetness well-judged, letting the coffee's natural robustness come through cleanly. Crushed cacao builds through the mid-palate with a pleasantly bitter edge — dark chocolate rather than milk.
The finish is long and aromatic, coffee and cacao holding together with easy, unhurried persistence.

Distillery established: 1900 — holder of Italy's oldest distillation licence, number one
Product style: Coffee and cacao liqueur
Recipe: Original Sibona — concentrated Arabica espresso and crushed cacao bean, slow-infused in alcohol
Key ingredients: Concentrated Arabica espresso, crushed cacao bean, alcohol, sugar, water

Serving temperature: Chilled or over ice as a digestivo; excellent at room temperature in cocktails

Perfect serve
Serve chilled in a small rocks glass or over a large ice cube. For a longer occasion, it is the ideal base for an Espresso Martini — its natural coffee and cacao depth removing the need for heavy additives. A measure added to a hot espresso is also very much in the Italian tradition.
Food pairing
A natural companion to anything that shares its flavour territory — coffee and dark chocolate are the obvious anchors, but the liqueur's depth carries further than that.
