Yep. Kahlúa contains about 100 ppm caffeine, which means about 100ml/ litre of product. So, for a standard 1.5 oz drink of Kahlúa there would be about 5 mg of caffeine.
Just to put it in perspective, an 8 oz brewed coffee can contain up to about 200mg of caffeine.
Kahlúa can be enjoyed on the rocks (try a White Russian), over ice cream (try an Affogato Martini), mixed within a hot drink (try a Kahlúa Coffee or Kahlúa Hot Cocoa), or used within baking recipes. You can also try mixing up one of our popular recipes, the classic Espresso Martini.

Actually, the product will be good for many more years, but the coffee impact fades over time so it won’t give you the full flavor impact. Also, if you were to receive an old bottle of Kahlúa, you have to make sure it has never been opened or tampered with.
The Kahlúa Flavors have a recommended shelf life of 2 years.
The Kahlúa RTD’s have a recommended shelf life of 1 year.
