Kahlúa is actually made with 100% Arabica coffee beans from Veracruz, Mexico – so when you pour Kahlúa into your cup, you’re adding coffee to coffee! Find out more about the product here.
Absolutely! Adding Kahlúa to your coffee is a delicious way to turn an everyday cup into something more indulgent. The rich coffee liqueur blends perfectly with hot or iced coffee, adding smooth notes of chocolate, vanilla, and roasted coffee. Just pour in a splash (or a full shot!) and enjoy a warm, cozy twist on your regular brew. View more recipes here.
Does Kahlúa contain caffeine?
Yep. Kahlúa contains about 100 ppm caffeine, which means about 100 ml/ liter of product. So, a standard 1.5 oz serving of Kahlúa contains about 5 mg of caffeine.
Just to put it in perspective, an 8 oz brewed coffee can contain about 200 mg of caffeine. View more about the product here.
What is Kahlúa and coffee called?
We like to call it a Kahlúa Coffee – a simple yet classic cocktail made by mixing Kahlúa coffee liqueur with freshly brewed coffee. It’s smooth, sweet, and full of rich coffee flavour – perfect for a cosy evening or an after-dinner treat. Add vodka and cream, and you’ve got a White Russian; add Irish whiskey and cream, and it becomes an Irish Coffee.
Can you put Kahlúa in hot coffee?
Yes! Add Kahlúa to freshly brewed hot coffee for a rich, warming drink. Just don’t boil or heat Kahlúa directly – add it after brewing. View more hot drinks here.
Can you put Kahlúa in iced coffee?
Definitely. Mix Kahlúa with cold brew or chilled coffee, add ice, and finish with a splash of milk or cream. View that recipe here. You can also try an Iced Cafe Americano or a Flat White Russian. View more options here.
What does Kahlúa taste like in coffee?
Kahlúa adds notes of roasted coffee, vanilla, and caramel, giving your cup a sweet, indulgent depth without overpowering the coffee flavour.
