NITRO 43

Pour all ingredients into an iSi Nitro.

Pressurise the Nitro with a Nitro charger and shake vigorously about eight times. To serve, hold the nozzle at a slight angle against the inside of the glass, press the lever and dispense the drink.

The Nitro 43 combines bold cold brew coffee with the sweet and spicy aromas of Licor 43 and a particularly creamy texture. This makes it an excellent accompaniment to selected desserts and savoury snacks, while also making it ideal for stylish moments of indulgence. Here are a few recommendations for pairings that complement this drink particularly well:

With Sweet Desserts and Pastries
The Nitro 43 pairs especially well with desserts featuring delicate coffee, vanilla or caramel notes. Serve it, for example, with a creamy tiramisu, a slice of chocolate cake or a light mousse au chocolat. Pastries such as cantuccini, almond cake or a warm brownie also complement the combination of bold cold brew coffee and the sweet, spicy character of Licor 43 beautifully. For a lighter pairing, choose fresh berries, an orange fruit salad or a dessert with citrus notes. The gentle acidity of the fruit creates a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the liqueur and brings out the roasted aromas of the coffee even more clearly.

With Savoury Dishes
The drink pairs particularly well with foods featuring roasted, smoky or slightly sweet flavours. Serve it, for example, with caramelised nuts, roasted almonds or a selection of mild hard and soft cheeses. A mature Gruyère, creamy Brie or mild blue cheese creates an exciting contrast to the drink’s smooth sweetness. The Nitro 43 is also a suitable accompaniment to small bites made with bacon, dates or smoked meat.

The Right Occasion
With its creamy foam and dark coffee colour, the Nitro 43 looks particularly elegant and makes an attractive impression as soon as it is poured. You can serve it after an extended meal as an alternative to an espresso or digestif, combining both moments of enjoyment in a single drink. The Nitro 43 is also an exciting choice for summer garden parties or modern cocktail evenings, as it is cool, aromatic and pleasantly uncomplicated. For an especially indulgent experience, present it alongside small dessert portions or a selection of chocolates.

Garnish and Presentation
For a stylish presentation, serve the Nitro 43 in a well-chilled tumbler, a small cocktail glass or a slim coffee glass. Its delicate foam should remain clearly visible and should not be hidden by too many decorative elements. Suitable garnishes include finely grated coffee beans, a dusting of cocoa powder or a hint of cinnamon. A single strip of orange zest is also an excellent choice, as its fresh essential oils enhance the vanilla and citrus notes of Licor 43. Avoid adding ice cubes to the glass so that the creamy texture and concentrated aromas are preserved. Serve the drink immediately after preparation, while the foam is still stable and the drink is pleasantly chilled.
