Kahlúa

Kahlúa is a world-famous Mexican liqueur made from rum, coffee and vanilla. It was created in Mexico in 1936 and its name comes from the language of the Veracruz people, roughly meaning 'house of the Aztec people'. It has a characteristic dark brown colour, a sweet taste and a bold coffee aroma. In both cooking and mixology, it is a popular ingredient, used in cocktails such as Black Russian, White Russian and Espresso Martini. It also pairs beautifully with desserts like chocolate cakes, tiramisu, ice cream sundaes and panna cotta. Its alcohol content is around 20%.
