Explore the Discover Pack Award-Winning Coffee Liqueur Hel Below was named England Coffee Liqueur Country Winner at the 2026 World Liqueur Awards, recognising it as England’s leading coffee liqueur in its category. It was also awarded Gold at The Spirits Business Global Liqueur Masters 2025, further validating its balance, texture and cocktail performance. View All Awards & Recognition Why Hel Below Works So Well in Baby Guinness A Baby Guinness depends on the coffee liqueur. It needs enough body to layer cleanly, enough coffee depth to avoid tasting like sugar syrup, and enough balance to work against the cream top. Hel Below was developed with that serve in mind. Its fuller texture helps create a clean layered shot, while its rounded sweetness and real coffee character give the drink more depth than standard coffee liqueurs. How to Make a Baby Guinness Also Built for Espresso Martinis Although Hel Below is especially strong in Baby Guinness serves, it also performs beautifully in an Espresso Martini. Its lower ABV, fuller texture and rounded sweetness create a softer, more indulgent Espresso Martini, particularly when paired with fresh espresso and a clean vodka. For a brighter, stronger Espresso Martini, choose Hel Above. For a richer, smoother and more rounded version, Hel Below is an excellent choice. Crafted with Real Coffee Hel Below is made using real coffee extracted through our Cold-Filter Brew process, developed to preserve coffee clarity, structure and balance. Rather than relying on flavourings, concentrates or excessive sugar, Hel Below keeps coffee at the centre of the drinking experience. Carefully selected sugars give the liqueur its fuller texture and rounded sweetness, while the coffee remains the defining flavour. Learn more about Cold-Filter Brewed coffee liqueur The Coffee Behind Hel Below Hel Below begins with our Harlequin House Blend — an award-winning 100% Arabica espresso coffee roasted in Yorkshire by Danelaw Coffee. Selected by Gordon Howell for sweetness, body and flavour intensity, it gives Hel Below the rich coffee character and mouthfeel needed for layered serves like the Baby Guinness. 100% Arabica • Great Taste 3-Star • Colombia + Ethiopia Explore the Coffee Meet Gordon Howell Hel Below or Hel Above?
