Kopi Luwak Cocktails – February Gross-Out Bar Drink Of The Month

Tweet

Kopi Luwak, also known as civet coffee, is one of the world’s most expensive forms of coffee. At nearly $160 per pound, this coffee is a treat only the well-to-do can afford to drink on a daily basis. But after finding out how this coffee is produced, one really has to wonder why anyone would like to drink this stuff every day.

The coffee comes from the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi, as well as from the Philippines, where it is known as motit coffee, and East Timor, where it is called kafe-laku.

The gross-out part of this expensive drink comes from the way it is produced. Asian Palm Civet’s eat the coffee berries, pass the coffee bean, which are then harvested, washed, dried, roasted and brewed, finally to be sipped in cafes the world over.

We figure it can’t be all that bad, especially if you throw some alcohol in it, so we have come up with 5 traditional coffee based cocktails with a poopy twist:
