Kahlua

I had never had Kahlua until I heard a sketch by George Carlin in which he mentioned a man on a plane working on his ninth Kahlua. I have mentioned in my previous drinks reviews That I like to try new drinks all the time and a few months ago while I was out on a night out with a friend I decided to try Kahlua for the first time. Intrigued about the drink I Did a bit of research on Kahlua and found that it is a Mexican Coffee based Drink that ranges from 20.0% and 26.5% abv depending on the market. It is a mix of alcohol and coffee and is known as a great cocktail ingredient. Now onto the drink. Once I had bought one of these in a local pub I smelt ...  Read the complete review

Kahlua If you were asked to name a coffee liqueur, most probably the first name to come to mind would be Tia Maria, but there is an alternative Kahlua. I first came across Kahlua in 2001, I was in Walmart, while I was on holiday in Mexico, and I was really intrigued by the shape of the bottle, it almost reminds me of a face, and the label is as interesting, its yellow, with red and black writing. I brought a bottle back as a present for my mother, my father always has Whisky where ever I go. On opening the bottle, the strong aroma of coffee beans hits you, as though they have been slow roasted and left to infuse. Upon pouring the drink I ...  Read the complete review

When me and my mate decided to have a few drinks last weekend she turned up with a bottle of Kahlua which I've seen before but have never tasted. It's a coffee liqueur like Tia Maria but has a better flavour and I don't think it's as sweet as Tia Maria and that's good because that drink makes me feel sick sometimes. We had ours with coke to start with and then my mate told me about a cocktail recipe she had heard where you mix Kahlua with vanilla vodka and cold milk. I had got a bottle of vanilla vodka so we tried it like that and it was yummy and very creamy tasting. The Kahlua on its own is wicked and tastes quite strong of coffee and it's good ...  Read the complete review

I am not a big drinker. I am a mother and therefore rarely have time to nurse a hangover from under the duvet while I watch the Hollyoaks omnibus on a Sunday so I don't usually bother. Having said that, I have two weaknesses - the first is Tequila which for safety reasons I should not be allowed within 20 feet of and the other is Kahlua for which I fell hard several years ago on a trip home to Canada. >>>The History of Kahlua<<< Kahlua, well know in the Americas and growing in recognition in the UK, is a popular Mexican liqueur produced by Allied Domecq since before the second World War. In 2005, it was acquired by Pernod Richard and has ...  Read the complete review

Is there any better combination than coffee and alcohol? Well, yes, there is. But I haven't got time to list them all here. There are many coffee-based liqueurs on the market, and everyone has their own favourite. Personally, I don't think much beats the flavour of Tia Maria, but giving it a good run for its money, at least in the popularity stakes, is Kahlua. Kahlua is apparently made from the finest hand picked Mexican coffee beans. These are gently roasted and then fused with a selection of rums and the ubiquitous secret ingredients - or so they say on their website. Incidentally, I heard David Beckham's library burned ...  Read the complete review
