Product details
Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka is a flavoured vodka distilled with freshly roasted and ground coffee beans, bottled at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The beans go through a gentle distillation rather than being added later as a syrup, and the result is a creamy spirit that smells like a bag of beans just after grinding. Manchester Sphere designed it as a coffee vodka for an Espresso Martini first and foremost, so it is a natural pick for anyone who shakes coffee cocktails at home. It also appeals to after-dinner drinkers who prefer roasted, bitter flavours to sweet ones.
Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka tasting notes
- Nose: Freshly ground espresso beans, cocoa nib and a little toasted hazelnut.
- Palate: Creamy and rounded, with dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate and a faint caramel note.
- Finish: Dry and long, with coffee-crema bitterness and a hint of spice.
How to drink coffee vodka from Manchester Sphere
Store the bottle in the fridge and pour 25 to 35 ml over ice in a rocks glass, or serve it chilled and neat in a small glass after dinner. Its roasted notes go well with tiramisu, dark chocolate truffles, coffee and walnut cake or a plain baked cheesecake. A measure over ice with a dash of cold brew makes a relaxed drink for a weekend dinner party.
Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka cocktails
The Espresso Martini comes first, but the roasted profile suits other classics too.
- Espresso Martini: 50 ml Coffee Vodka, 30 ml freshly brewed espresso and 15 ml coffee liqueur, shaken hard with ice and strained into a chilled coupe.
- Coffee Negroni: 25 ml Coffee Vodka, 25 ml Campari and 25 ml sweet vermouth stirred over ice in a rocks glass, garnished with orange peel.

How it compares
Its sibling, Manchester Spirit Sphere Grapefruit Vodka, uses the same gentle distillation with fresh citrus peel and is bright and zesty where this bottle is roasted and rich. Thunder Toffee + Vodka Spirit is the sweeter dessert option, blended with toffee syrup at 29.9%, while the coffee vodka keeps a full 40% and a drier, more bitter finish.

Frequently asked questions
Is Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka the same as a coffee liqueur?
No, Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka is a vodka distilled with freshly roasted, ground coffee beans, whereas a coffee liqueur is sweetened with sugar. Expect a roasted, fairly dry coffee flavour, which is why Espresso Martini recipes often use the two side by side.
What can I mix with Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka besides an Espresso Martini?
Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka makes a rich White Russian: 50 ml over ice with 25 ml coffee liqueur and 25 ml single cream. For something lighter, try an espresso-tonic style drink with 40 ml over ice, 120 ml chilled tonic water and an orange slice.
What is the difference between Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka and the Grapefruit Vodka?
Manchester Sphere makes both with the same gentle distillation, but the ingredient changes everything. Manchester Sphere Coffee Vodka uses roasted beans for a dark, after-dinner spirit, while Manchester Spirit Sphere Grapefruit Vodka uses fresh peel for a crisp, zesty daytime drink.
