Coffee Liqueur Health Benefits and Nutrition Facts

Nutritional summary

Coffee liqueur is characterized by its high sugar content and caloric density compared to standard spirits, as it combines ethanol with significant amounts of added sweeteners .
The beverage provides calories primarily from alcohol and carbohydrates but offers few to no essential nutrients, such as vitamins or minerals .
While coffee itself is a major contributor of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in adult diets due to high consumption volumes, the processed nature and typical serving sizes of coffee liqueur do not make it a significant source of this nutrient .
Moderate consumption is defined as no more than one drink per day for women and two for men, as the alcohol component can have harmful health effects when consumed in excess .
