Few drinks have as rich a history as coffee. For centuries, coffee has been enjoyed by people all over the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down. But where did coffee come from? And how did it become such a popular drink?

It all started in Ethiopia, where legend says a goatherd named Kaldi discovered coffee after seeing his goats eat the berries from a coffee tree and become more energetic. From Ethiopia, coffee spread to Yemen and then to Arabia, where it quickly became popular among the Sufi monks who used it to stay awake during long hours of prayer. From Arabia, coffee traveled to Turkey, Italy, and finally Europe, where it became a staple drink for aristocrats and commoners alike.

Coffee's popularity only grew from there. Today, it is estimated that over two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day around the world. And with so many different ways to enjoy coffee - from black to iced to frappuccino - it's no wonder this delicious drink shows no signs of going away any time soon.

As any coffee lover knows, there is nothing quite like a good cup of joe. But what about when you want to add a little something extra to your cup? That's where coffee gin comes in. Coffee gin is a type of gin that has been infused with coffee beans, resulting in a drink that has all the flavor of coffee with a kick of alcohol. If you're looking for a coffee gin to try, here are three brands that come highly recommended.

Beanie's Coffee Gin is made with Arabica coffee beans from Brazil. The beans are roasted and then steeped in the gin for 24 hours, resulting in a smooth and flavorful drink.

Cold Brewed Couture Coffee Gin uses cold-brewed coffee as its base. The coffee is then combined with gin and oranges from Seville, resulting in a bright and citrusy drink.

Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur is made with 100% Arabica coffee beans sourced from Ethiopia. The coffee is roasted and brewed before being combined with Australian wheat Vodka, resulting in a smooth and well-balanced drink. 

So whether you're looking for a smooth or citrusy coffee gin, there's sure to be a brand that's perfect for you.
