Tea & Coffee Trade Journal, April, 2005

UNITED STATES -- Starbucks recently launched its first alcoholic drink, a coffee liqueur called Starbucks Coffee Liqueur. Made in collaboration with Jim Beam Brands, the liqueur will be sold in restaurants, bars and liquor stores, not in Starbucks' coffeehouses, reports the Seattle Times. Alcohol content is 20% by volume, or 40 proof. A 750 milliliter bottle will sell for about $23.

Starbucks and Jim Beam, a unit of Fortune Brands, said the launch follows successful test marketing in Denver and Austin, Texas.

Half of Starbucks' customers drink coffee liqueur and the chain's customers are nine times more likely than most Americans to drink a coffee liqueur, Starbucks said its research shows.
