  Episode 32 of Season 3 - Mario's Hard Espresso

  Jul 14, 202642 minS3

  A tiny holiday tradition can turn into something much bigger if you refuse to cut corners. On Tasting Arcadia, Karen McNair ( CEO of the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce) sits down with Joe from Mario’s Hard Espresso to trace the brand back to Joe’s father, Mario, who made a small batch espresso liqueur once a year for friends and family. That “share the love” spirit still drives everything, right down to the decision to keep the recipe simple and real: true Arabica dark roast espresso, organic Madagascar vanilla, cane sugar, and a neutral grain spirit that lets the coffee shine.
