Product details
Belvedere Dirty Brew 70cl is a Polish blend of Belvedere organic vodka and coffee, bottled at 30% ABV. It pairs robusta coffee and rye vodka, and the robusta brings a bitter, roasted backbone while dark toffee and bitter chocolate notes sit on a thick, almost syrupy texture. The style falls between a flavoured vodka and a coffee liqueur, with more roast than sugar. Polish dessert tables, from baked sernik to poppy-seed cake, are its natural home, and it suits coffee lovers who want a grown-up pour after dinner.
Belvedere Dirty Brew tasting notes
- Nose: Freshly ground dark-roast coffee with toffee and a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Palate: Bittersweet espresso, dark chocolate and caramelised sugar over smooth rye, with a viscous, mouth-coating feel.
- Finish: Long and roasted, gently bitter, with a creamy edge that fades slowly.
How to drink Belvedere Dirty Brew
Pour 50 ml over one large ice cube in a tumbler and sip it slowly after dinner, or keep the bottle in the fridge for a chilled neat measure. For a quick dessert, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a small bowl and pour a little over the top, affogato style. Chocolate torte, cheesecake or a slice of poppy-seed cake all sit well alongside, and it fits a long winter evening with friends.
Cocktails with Belvedere Dirty Brew
An Espresso Martini with Belvedere Dirty Brew needs fewer ingredients than usual, because the coffee is already in the bottle.
- Espresso Martini: shake 50 ml Dirty Brew, 25 ml freshly brewed espresso and 10 ml sugar syrup hard with ice, strain into a chilled coupe and float three coffee beans on top.
- Dirty Brew Tonic: pour 40 ml over ice in a highball, top with 120 ml tonic water and add a twist of orange peel.
How it compares
Belvedere Vodka Organic is the unflavoured rye spirit underneath, dry and bottled at 40%, so Dirty Brew is ten percentage points lower and adds coffee, toffee and a heavier body. Against Belvedere Organic Infusions Blackberry and Lemongrass, a fresh fruit-and-herb vodka meant for soda, it is darker, richer and better placed at the end of a meal than at the start.
Good to know
Belvedere is made by Polmos Żyrardów, in the town of Żyrardów south-west of Warsaw, and the brand name refers to the Belweder palace in the capital. Served in 40 ml measures over ice, the 70cl bottle goes a long way. Order Belvedere Dirty Brew from Wodka Company and we will deliver it anywhere in the UK from our London base.
Po polsku
Belvedere Dirty Brew łączy organiczną wódkę żytnią Belvedere z kawą robusta. Ma 30% alkoholu, więc jest to napój spirytusowy o smaku kawy, plasujący się gdzieś między wódką smakową a likierem kawowym; butelka ma pojemność 0,7 l. Na podniebieniu dominuje gorzkawe espresso, ciemna czekolada i karmel, a konsystencja jest wyraźnie gęsta i aksamitna. Warto podać go schłodzonego na jednej dużej kostce lodu, do sernika lub makowca, albo wstrząsnąć ze świeżym espresso w Espresso Martini.
Frequently asked questions
Is Belvedere Dirty Brew a coffee liqueur?
No, not in the strict sense. Belvedere Dirty Brew is a coffee-flavoured spirit made from Belvedere Organic rye vodka and robusta coffee, sitting between a flavoured vodka and a coffee liqueur, with a more bitter, roasted edge than most sweet coffee liqueurs.
How do you make an affogato with Belvedere Dirty Brew?
Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a small glass or bowl and pour 25 ml of chilled Belvedere Dirty Brew over it just before serving. The robusta coffee and toffee notes of Belvedere Dirty Brew take the place of the usual shot of espresso.
What is the difference between Belvedere Dirty Brew and Belvedere Vodka Organic?
Belvedere Vodka Organic is the dry, unflavoured organic rye vodka, while Belvedere Dirty Brew starts from that same spirit and adds robusta coffee. The result is a darker, thicker drink with toffee and bitter chocolate notes and a lower ABV, made for after dinner.
