Kahlua

Buttered Toffee

Creamy golden cocktail with ice

The Buttered Toffee cocktail is creamy, sweet and delicious. On the one hand, it’s yet another drink featuring irish cream, coffee liqueur and amaretto. But the Half-n-Half makes this one special. The Half-n-Half this recipe refers to is not one of the lagers known by that name in some parts of the world. It’s talking ... Read the full article →

Butter Chocolate Bliss

Pale brown creamy cocktail in wine glass

The Butter Chocolate Bliss is a rich delicious cocktail. It blends Kahlua with butterscotch schnapps and cold milk into a creamy concoction that’s sweet enough to be dessert. This drink is perfect for the end of a long day, when you need a little sugar boost to go with your alcohol in order to make ... Read the full article →

Butterscotch Mudslide Shake

Cocktail resembling a chocolate milkshake

The Butterscotch Mudslide Shake sounds like one of those sweet drinks for lightweights, but no. It’s 6 ounces of alcohol, and even though they’re liqueurs and therefore not particularly high proof, this one still sneaks up on you. This drink is very sweet and rich, so obviously it’s a nice dessert substitute. Think of it ... Read the full article →

Indian Summer

Two shot glasses full of a dark brown cocktail mixture

Like most drinks featuring amaretto and Kahlua, the Indian Summer cocktail is all about flavor. It’s served as a shot, but it’s definitely not one you need to chug. The Indian Summer cocktail tastes like a black coffee with almond flavored syrup, only richer due to the more complex flavors of the Kahlua. It’s sweet ... Read the full article →

T-52 Shooter

Two T-52 shots on a silver bar

If you enjoy a B-52, you’ve got to try the T-52 Shooter. It’s basically the same drink, but with the Irish cream swapped for a strawberry cream liqueur. That goes incredibly well with both the coffee and orange flavors of the other two liqueurs. In fact, you know how the B-52 tastes like caramel candy? ... Read the full article →

Kahlua Cookie

The Kahlua Cookie cocktail topped with whipped cream

Can’t decide whether you want ice cream or cookies? Or maybe eve  coffee? Fear not: the Kahlua Cookie cocktail solves your problems of indecision by throwing it all in a blender and pureeing it into a creamy, frothy treat.

Coco Butter

The Coco Butter Cocktail sitting on a restaurant table with a woman's arm in the background

The Coco Butter starts with a familiar combination – Kahlua and milk. But then it adds a healthy dose of butterscotch schnapps, and that distinguishes it from the competition. This is a tasty, sweet and rich drink (if you use whole milk). Enjoy a Coco Butter as an aperitif, or after dinner for a light ... Read the full article →

Kahlua Hot Chocolate

Ground Zero

Ground Zero cocktail

The Ground Zero cocktail has a strange combination of flavors. Peppermint and coffee mingle with whiskey for a taste that’s just plain hard to describe, and definitely not for everyone. It’s sort of smoky and minty and earthy. This is a pure alcohol shot, and as such, can be chugged or savored. It’s nice for ... Read the full article →

Undertaker

Espresso beans in a martini glass

The Undertaker cocktail tastes like a mildly sweetened and flavored espresso served cold. The caffeine from the espresso can keep you from recognizing the alcohol, making this one of those stealth drinks that sneak up on you. Hence the name. Enjoy an Undertaker whenever you want a cold coffee drink with a kick. This drink ... Read the full article →

Grizzly Bear

Creamy light brown cocktail

The Grizzly Bear cocktail is surprisingly gentle. Doesn’t really have a bite at all. You may be wondering about the Jagermeister parked there in the middle of sweet rich liqueurs and milk, but herbal liqueurs are marrying ingredients. That is, somehow, despite their flavor sounding so wrong for the job, they bring all the other ... Read the full article →

Azteca Cocktail

Golden cocktail against white background

The Azteca Cocktail is one of those very rich, very delicious Kahlua cocktails. But instead of Kahlua’s usual partner in crime – Bailey’s – this drink adds something special: a dash orange curacao. It’s a bit like a mocha (with the creme de cacao) with a wonderful hint of orange – and some tequila, which ... Read the full article →

Snowball

Tom and Jerry Cocktail drink

Tired of sophisticated holiday ‘tinis with odd (but so grown-up) flavor combinations and sexy garnishes? Maybe it’s time for a good old-fashioned blended cocktail that looks like a big ball of snow in a glass and tastes like cinnamon. This drink has a flavor that’s definitely for the kid in you – but with three ... Read the full article →

Christmas Cookie

Christmas Cookie

With a name like the Christmas Cookie, this cocktail sounds innocent enough. But be forewarned: it really packs a wallop with three ounces of alcohol. It tastes a little like a peppermint latte, only much better. This makes a delicious dessert drink. Feel free to try other brands of coffee liqueur and Irish cream – ... Read the full article →

Quick Fox

Quick Fox

The Quick Fox is a layered cocktail – three layers, to be precise. Pouring three layers without messing any of them up is slightly tricky and takes a bit of practice. The specific gravity of a liqueur from one brand to the next can also vary, so you need to try this one out with ... Read the full article →

Xaviera

If you ever had one of those Orange Cappuccinos from those International Coffee powders in a tin, this is the really yummy and alcoholic version of it. The Xaviera is a sweet little number, featuring coffee and orange liqueurs with just a touch of almond. This is a great drink to serve or order right ... Read the full article →

Hazel’s Wonder

1271152_cafe_latte_brulee

Hazel’s Wonder is a blended drink you could easily swap with dessert. Blended drinks combine some liquid ingredients with at least one solid, such as ice or fruit. This one’s a little unusual in that it uses shelled hazelnuts as the solid ingredient. This gives the drink a unique nutty flavor that’s out of this ... Read the full article →

Romance

romance

The Romance cocktail is all about coffee, chocolate and cream flavors. It’s sinfully rich and sweet. Anytime you see Kahlua and Bailey’s in a recipe, the image that springs to mind is of the just-old-enough-to-drink set in a club giggling over drinks designed to comfortably resemble the beverages of childhood. And yeah, there’s no denying ... Read the full article →
