Discover Bezalel Premium Espresso Liqueur – The Kalahari Broffie

Bezalel Premium Espresso Liqueur is a handcrafted South African masterpiece — made with our purest, double-distilled potstill brandy infused over an extended period with quality Arabica coffee beans from Southern Africa. Cold-settled and racked, never mechanically filtered, to preserve maximum flavour, this dark, sweet, and lively liqueur pays homage to the age-old frontier combination known as the "Kalahari Broffie", "Boeretroos with a kick", or "Polisie Koffie" — a warming ritual that comforted frontiersmen through cold desert nights in the Green Kalahari.

The perfect blend of bold brandy and rich coffee — smooth, indulgent, and unmistakably South African.

Bezalel Premium Espresso Liqueur

How it's made

Bezalel Wine & Brandy Estate, located on the N14 Highway between Upington and Keimoes in the Northern Cape's Green Kalahari region, has been family-owned on the Orange River since 1947. Our Premium Espresso Liqueur starts with our purest double-distilled potstill brandy, infused over an extended period with premium Arabica coffee beans from Southern Africa. Cold-settled and racked, never mechanically filtered, to retain maximum flavour, it captures the spirit of the Kalahari frontiersman — a warming, indulgent liqueur that blends brandy tradition with bold coffee innovation.

05 - How to Enjoy

Serve & pair.

Serve

This versatile liqueur shines in many ways:

  • Neat & Chilled — Pour a generous measure into a wide-brim glass, let it breathe for a moment, and savour its complexity.
  • Over Crushed Ice — For a refreshing twist, serve over crushed ice. The cold enhances the coffee vibrancy and softens the swallow.
  • In Your Coffee — Elevate your brew by adding a splash — the secret ingredient to end the perfect meal (Polisie Koffie style).
  • With Ice Cream — Drizzle over a scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream for an indulgent dessert treat.
  • Cocktail ideas:
    • Kalahari Espresso Martini: 40 ml liqueur, 30 ml vodka, 20 ml espresso, dash of simple syrup, shake with ice.
    • Broffie White Russian: 40 ml liqueur, 30 ml vodka, 20 ml cream, stir over ice.
    • Simple Kalahari Sip: 40 ml liqueur over crushed ice, splash of milk or cream.
Pair

The rich coffee-brandy profile pairs beautifully with:

  • Chocolate desserts — brownies, mousse, or lava cake — amplifies the espresso and caramel notes.
  • Ice cream or affogato — vanilla or coffee ice cream for a classic dessert drink.
  • Cheese platters — blue cheese or aged cheddar for contrast.
  • Braai sweets — malva pudding or koeksisters for a South African twist.
