Advantages: Yummy!
Disadvantages: Too sweet so can't drink massive amounts
Hello all! It was 9.30pm last night and I’d been home from work for an hour, I sat at the PC with one of the most gorgeous drinks I’ve every had…. Kahlua. What is Kahlua? Kahlua is produced in Mexico. It’s a rich, dark liqueur, made from the finest Mexican coffee, fine cane spirits and a hint of vanilla. It was produced before WWII but not introduced to America until 1962. Kahlua is a coffee liqueur. It is a dark brown colour and it doesn’t smell too much of coffee which is good, I don’t like coffee, surprisingly! Kahlua has a brief bitter note followed by a very sweet flavour, almost chocolate like. I asked my other half to tell me what he thought it smelt like and he said it was like Christmas chocolates when you have a tin of Quality Street and only the rubbish ones are left! The drink itself is 26.5% Vol. Not too strong (probably the only down side!) The bottle is brown with a yellow label and an ‘imported’ sticker on it. The picture on the front is a brown drawing of a quiet Mexican town with a man sitting on the floor, probably asleep (blindo more like!) with a sombrero on his head. On the back of the bottle are 5 recipes to try, I will include some recipes later, not ones from the bottle though, apart from my favourite! The bottle is 70cl and is sold in many places. I bought mine in the local Tesco’s for a bargain price of £12.99. RECIPES **Kahlua and milk** You pour 2-3 parts milk (or cream) to on part Kahlua, add a little ice and enjoy! This is my favourite **Kahlua Aero Bar** Mix Irish cream, Kahlua, Crème de menthe, milk and ice. **8-Ball** Float vanilla ice cream on the top of a frosty mug of Kahlua. **Kahlua coffee** Kahlua, coffee, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and vodka. Put everything in a blender and mix well. **Kahlua Mudslide** Kahlua, milk, Irish cream liqueur and vodka. Blend together with ice 1 par
t Kahlua ½ part Irish cream , 1 part vodka and 1part milk. You can also add Kahlua to brownies and many other recipes. The Kahlua website has all of these recipes on. www.kahlua.com Take a trip to the supermarket first, invite some friends round and go to the site to see what you can make! You’ll have a great time! A lovely drink, couldn’t drink too much though as it is very sweet. Enjoy…. I do!!

- 01/07/02 This is the sort of thing I love in a cocktail bar but never have at home - probably because I never seem to spot it when I'm in the supermarket, usually just grab the vodka! |

- 23/06/02 Coffee should only come in a cup, with a frothy top and plenty of sugar, for me!

[And jam should only be put on toast too ... !! ;)] |
