The Simplest Spiked Coffee
Some cocktails require a mixology degree. Kahlua coffee requires pouring two things into a mug. It's the easiest way to turn your evening coffee into a dessert-worthy treat.
What Makes Kahlua Special
Kahlua is a Mexican coffee liqueur made with arabica beans, rum, and vanilla. When added to coffee, it amplifies the coffee flavor while adding sweetness and a gentle alcohol warmth.
Perfect Proportions
The standard ratio is 1.5 oz Kahlua to 6 oz coffee—strong enough to taste, gentle enough to enjoy. Adjust to your preference, but start here.
