There’s nothing else quite like the sweet coffee flavor of Kahlua. This collection of Kahlua drinks shows off the range and versatility of this delicious liqueur. So we’ve got frozen drinks, shots, doubles and more.
Serving Suggestions
Before we dive into the recipes, let me make a few food suggestions to go with these luscious drinks. If you’re serving drinks with nibbles, try Turkish roasted hazelnuts. They have a hint of sweetness that’s just perfect.
Or if you prefer something more salty, try some nut snack recipes. That list features soy sauce roasted cashews, spicy parmesan ranch almonds, garlic herb roasted nuts, and more.
The smokiness of prosciutto goes surprisingly well with these drinks. And Parmesan Crisps are fantastic with pretty much anything.
You can also make your own Kahlua at home.
Kahlua Drinks
Blended Drinks
These delicious blended drinks have the feel of a milkshake. They're great for cooling off or anytime you're in the mood for something like a milkshake with a kick.
Butterscotch Mudslide Shake
Another milkshake style drink, this one featuring butterscotch schnapps.
Pensacola Bushwacker
The Pensacola Bushwacker, a variation on the usual Bushwacker, features coconut cream, black rum, vanilla ice cream and more. It's an alcohol milkshake for grownups.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Kahlua Milkshakes
This drink features coffee flavored ice cream and some chocolate chip cookies all blended together.
Baileys & Kahlua Iced Coffee Shake
This one has been known to appeal to people who don't even like Kahlua. Maybe it's the touch of hazelnut that does the trick.
Crown Royal Maple Mudslide
Another ice cream based cocktail, this one adds the maple flavor of Crown Royal Maple.
Shots
Shots are quick little treats. Don't be afraid of layered cocktails! They're easier to make than you think. Check out my cocktail layering tutorial!
Ground Zero
The Ground Zero cocktail has an odd combination of flavors. Peppermint and coffee mingle with whiskey for a taste that's hard to describe.
Indian Summer
Like most drinks featuring amaretto and Kahlua, the Indian Summer cocktail is all about flavor. It's served as a shot.
Grizzly Bear Drink Recipe
The Grizzly Bear cocktail is surprisingly gentle. It's a potent but smooth blend of Amaretto, Jägermeister, Kahlua, and milk, but it doesn't bite.
B52 Shot Cocktail Recipe
The classic B52 shot recipe makes a delicious, sweet little cocktail that's beautiful to look at, too. You layer three tasty liqueurs, and the resulting flavor is something like cafe l'orange or a caramel candy with hints of orange.
Cocktails
When a shot just won't do, sometimes you need a nice long cocktail. These cocktails are meant to be savored. They're all about that delicious mocha flavor.
Black Russian Drink Recipe
Another old classic but never gets old, this is basically the White Russian without cream.
Coco Butter
Another cocktail combining Kahlua and butterscotch schnapps, but this time without the ice cream.
Long Black Russian Cocktail Recipe
And this delicious drink is the Black Russian with the addition of Coca-Cola for a nice long sip.
Avalanche Cocktail
If you think White Russians are boring, this drink swaps out the vodka for Crown Royal.
Buttered Toffee Drink Recipe
This one blends Kahlua, amaretto, Baileys and more to create a wonderful toffee flavor.
Nutcracker Cocktail
This deliciously tempting drink blends Kahlua with amaretto, Grand Marnier and Bailey's Irish Cream. It has a wonderfully sweet and satisfying chocolate, caramel, orange, coffee kind of flavor.
Espresso Martini
With a shot of espresso, this one is guaranteed to wake you up. Garnished with espresso beans.
Dark Russian Kahlua Cocktail
This twist on the classic Black Russian features chocolate milk.
