The Velvet Hammer is a coffee-flavored liqueur that gets its name from its smooth, creamy texture. It's made with Triple Sec, Coffee Flavored Liqueur, Half And Half. It's subtly sweet, with a hint of orange from the Triple Sec. The coffee flavor is well-balanced and not too overwhelming. The liqueur is also nice and thick, making it perfect for sipping on its own or using in cocktails. The Velvet Hammer was created during the 1970s or 1980s. Today, the Velvet Hammer is still made using the same recipe, and continues to be a favorite among coffee enthusiasts.
