Tasty Kahlua Drinks

By Kate Bryan


The first drinks with Kahlua were made in 1936, and since then the brand has undergone several mergers and acquisitions. Today, this popular coffee flavored and rum based drink made with sugar, vanilla bean and corn syrup, is produced by Pernod Ricard, the largest spirits distributor in the world. Drinks made with Kahlua include a Black Russian, baby Guinness, Spanish Coffee and Mudslide, and Kahlua is also widely used in cheesecake, ice cream and other desserts and cakes.

After the beans have been handpicked they are processed in order to extract what we know as the coffee beans. The coffee beans are then dried, after which the husk is taken off. The coffee beans are then placed in burlap bags so that they age to perfection which gives us the great flavor that we love. The beans are then roasted.

Milk, coffee, cocoa and cream are typical ingredients of Kahlua mixed drinks. Kahlua contains about a quarter of the caffeine found in coffee, around 10 mg per 100 ml. Kahlua flavored chocolates are sold in Mexico, along with chocolate cups looking like shot glasses, to serve them in.

Many of the Drinks made with Kahlua include cream, milk, coffee, and chocolate. It may also be mixed with creme de'menthe,for a soothing, crisp taste. The drink is served in shot glasses. In Mexico it may come in chocolate cups, which can enhance the coffee flavor. Kahlua has caffeine, but only about a fourth of the amount in regular coffee. It would take quite a bit of Kahlua to feel the effects of the caffeine and the alcohol content would help negate those effects.

The seven different varieties of Kahlua each contain different calorie amounts, depending on the flavoring present. French vanilla has about 103 calories per ounce, while Standard and Espresso Kahlua each have about 53 calories per ounce. The other five varieties are Ready to Drink, Mocha, Hazelnut and Peppermint Mocha.

Kahlua mixed drinks usually include cream, milk and cocoa. In Mexico you can buy Kahlua flavored chocolate. You can even get a shot glass to drink your Kahlua out of.
