About This Liqueur
Amarula Ethiopian Coffee Cream Liqueur is a limited-edition variation of the original Amarula Cream Liqueur, bringing together the smooth, creamy character of Amarula with the distinctive richness of Ethiopian coffee. Inspired by two of Africa's most celebrated ingredients, this seasonal expression offers a deeper, coffee-led flavour profile while remaining true to the signature style that has made Amarula one of the world's best-loved cream liqueurs.
Like the original Amarula Cream Liqueur, this expression begins with spirit distilled from the fruit of the African marula tree. The marula fruit is harvested during its short annual season before being fermented, distilled and matured in oak. Blended with fresh cream and complemented by the character of Ethiopian coffee, the result is a rich and velvety cream liqueur that balances smooth sweetness with roasted coffee notes.
Rather than replacing the original Amarula Cream Liqueur, Amarula Ethiopian Coffee has been created as a seasonal expression, giving Amarula enthusiasts another way to enjoy the brand's distinctive South African character.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Rich cream with warm coffee and caramel tones.
- Aroma: Roasted coffee complemented by creamy vanilla and subtle marula fruit.

How Does Amarula Ethiopian Coffee Differ from the Original?
The original Amarula Cream Liqueur 70Cl is celebrated for its distinctive balance of marula fruit, fresh cream and smooth caramel sweetness.
Amarula Ethiopian Coffee builds on that iconic foundation by introducing the rich character of Ethiopian coffee, creating a cream liqueur with additional roasted depth while preserving the velvety texture and approachable style that define the Amarula range.
For customers who already enjoy Amarula Cream Liqueur, this limited-edition release offers an exciting seasonal variation that complements the original rather than replacing it.
