Do you find yourself wanting a spirited after-dinner delight? Look no further because these 9 Kahlua drinks are guaranteed to do the trick!
From martinis to milkshakes, there’s a Kahlua recipe here for everyone to experiment with.
1. Espresso Martini
Calling out to all coffee enthusiasts! After you sip this espresso martini, you’ll likely wonder where it’s been all your life.
The Kahlua perfectly balances the naturally bitter espresso, leading to a velvety, divine beverage. This cocktail is one I enjoy having before or after dinner because it’s simply perfect.
2. Black Russian
I’m willing to bet you’ve had a White Russian at some point, but what about a black Russian?
This drink has remained a classic since a bartender by the name of Gustave Tops concocted it in 1949 at a hotel. This drink is arguably bolder than its white counterpart since it only contains Kahlua and vodka.
This recipe is bound to inspire you to kick your feet up and chill for a while.
3. Salted Caramel White Russian
I don’t even know where to start with this buttery and velvety cocktail. It’s comparable to having a piece of caramel candy in a glass, though even more decadent.
You’ll want to use the sea salt garnish because it takes this recipe to the next level. You won’t be able to drink multiple of these, though, since they’re incredibly rich.
4. Brown Cow
The brown cow is effectively a more sophisticated take on regular milk. With just ice, Kahlua, and milk, this recipe is quite straightforward.
I can’t imagine anything better than dipping a chocolate chip cookie into this recipe, what do you think? You could use any cookie you want for this tasty beverage — even Oreos. Your cocktail, your rules!
5. Kahlua Coca-Cola Float
Just as you might have enjoyed the combination of carbonation and creaminess in root beer floats when you were younger, you’ll love it just as much in this Kahlua Coca-Cola float.Given that it uses ice cream, I think this is more of a dessert than a beverage, though you can enjoy it however you want because it’s guaranteed to be satisfying.
If Coca-Cola seems too sweet, you can use root beer or cream soda instead, though I still think Coke is the way to go.
6. Coffee with Kahlua
It might not seem like a legitimate cocktail, but spiking your coffee is a great way to enjoy a strong drink! Just skip the cream and add Kahlua. Simple, right?
I consider this one of my favorite Kahlua drinks because it’s just so easy, and I’m never opposed to having some coffee.
7. Kahlua Hot Chocolate
Perhaps this Kahlua drink is more your thing if you aren’t big on coffee. It’ll give you those reminiscent sentiments of being a kid again, only with a tasty Kahlua bite. Feel free to use as much or as little as you prefer to get the flavor (and alcohol content) right.
Add whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top if you want to really treat yourself!
8. B-52 Cocktail
This “fun” shot isn’t all that hard to toss back in comparison to straight whiskey or vodka.This cocktail is made with Kahlua, Baileys, and Grand Marnier and looks amazing when layered in the glass to show off the different colors.Layering the liqueurs can take some practice, but once you know how to do it, your friends will think you’re a pro bartender.
The taste has hints of caramel, mocha, and orange all at once.
9. Kahlua Mocha Milkshake
Using vanilla ice cream, chocolate liqueur, Kahlua, and mocha iced coffee, this milkshake is truly magical. The coffee flavor elevates it, especially given how well coffee and Kahlua go together.
This milkshake is sure to cool you off and satiate your sweet tooth at the same time, all while leaving you feeling like a million bucks. You can’t go wrong with this one!
