𝐊𝐀𝐇𝐋𝐔𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐗𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐔𝐑
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚?

It is a brand of coffee liqueur Born in Veracruz, Mexico in 1936, Kahlúa comes steeped in history, with a rich and colorful heritage, and is now the world’s #1 coffee liqueur.* Made with 100% Arabica coffee beans and rum, Kahlúa coffee liqueur is one of the main ingredients in many of the world’s favorite cocktails.

𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬

With its enticing caramel colour, Kahlúa coffee liqueur boasts the deep, rich flavour of real black coffee, roasted chestnut and indulgent sweet butter.

𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚

Pedro Domecq began producing Kahlúa in 1936. It was named Kahlúa, meaning "House of the Acolhua people" in the Veracruz Nahuatl language. Jules Berman was the first importer of the liqueur to the United States, earning him the nickname "Mr. Kahlua".

The company merged in 1994 with Allied Lyons to become Allied Domecq. In turn, that company was partially acquired in 2005 by Pernod Ricard,the largest spirits distributor in the world since its merger with the Swedish Vin & Sprit in March 2008.

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚

Since 2004, the alcohol content of Kahlúa is 20.0%; earlier versions had 26.5%. In 2002, a more expensive, high-end product called "Kahlúa Especial" became available in the United States, Canada and Australia after previously being offered only in duty-free markets. Made with arabica coffee beans grown in Veracruz, Mexico, Kahlúa Especial has an alcohol content of 36%, has a lower viscosity, and is less sweet than the regular version.

In 2021 Kahlúa introduced a new bottle design. It also reduced the alcohol content to 16% "to address 'evolving' consumer trends towards conscious drinking and lower-alcohol options.

𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚

Kahlúa is used to make cocktails or drink neat or on ice. Some people use it when baking desserts, and/or as a topping for ice cream, cakes, and cheesecakes.

It is mixed in several ways, often with different combinations of milk, cream, coffee and cocoa.

𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚

Because Kahlúa is made from coffee beans, it contains caffeine. According to the company, "Kahlúa contains about 100 ppm caffeine, which means about 100 mg/litre of product. So, for a standard 1.5 oz [45 ml] drink of Kahlúa there would be about 5 mg of caffeine. Just to put it in perspective, an 8 oz [240 ml] brewed coffee can contain up to about 200 mg of caffeine."

𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐮𝐚 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬

Kahlúa is a key ingredient in several notable cocktails:
