Amazon customers who have tried it are saying it's the best cream liqueur they've ever tasted, but at 12% ABV it's important to remember to drink responsibly. It's pulled in an average rating of 4.6 out of five across 164 global reviews on the shopping giant.
One Amazon shopper wrote: "I recently bought this Espresso Martini Cream Liqueur, and I must say, it was a truly extraordinary experience. In fact, I would confidently state that it is the best cream liqueur I have ever tasted. From the moment I poured it into my glass, I was captivated by its rich, velvety texture.
"The aroma alone was enough to transport me to a luxurious coffeehouse, with enticing notes of freshly brewed espresso and a subtle hint of sweetness. Upon taking my first sip, I was instantly enchanted by the perfectly balanced flavours. The smooth, robust essence of espresso was expertly fused with a luscious creaminess, creating a harmonious blend that danced on my taste buds. Each sip was a decadent treat."
A second penned: "Great taste, wish they sold bigger bottles since this one went I just a few days."
A third said: "This tastes amazing, probably one of the best things available from Hotel Chocolat. Bought for my partner and they absolutely loved it. So smooth and creamy, tastes better than a regular espresso martini! A nice treat after a long week!"
A fourth added: "Tried this at a friends at Christmas and thought it was delicious. It’s not cheap but I waited for a good deal and bought it then - date wasn’t the best (about 5 months) but it’ll not last that long anyway lol. Coffee flavour is not over powering at all - very subtle and would definitely recommend."
For those who don't like coffee, Amazon has also slashed the price of other flavours of the Hotel Chocolat Liqueur. A 500ml bottle of the Hotel Chocolat Classic Velevtised Cream in Chocolate is now £15.81, down from £23, while a bottle of the Mint flavoured Hotel Chocolat Cream Liqueur is £18.70.
Or if you don't mind a trip to the supermarket, Sainsbury's is selling 50cl bottles of Baileys Espresso Crème Liqueur for £10 instead of £20.50. Meanwhile, a 70cl bottle of the original is £13 on Amazon, down from £22.
