Tips for Making Kahlua Coffee

Adding Kahlua in a coffee, no doubt, will spruce up your weekend brunch coffee. This Kahlua-infused coffee is also comforting enough to be a delightful after-dinner treat. And exciting enough to enliven your happy hour! It’s just a bonus that this sipper is a cinch to prepare.

Here are some tips to make the Kahlua coffee cocktail more decadent than it already is:

Kahlua coffee drinks start with a great-tasting and freshly brewed coffee. Use any coffee brewing method, such as Chemex or Aeropress, to make quality coffee. If you fancy freshly ground coffee beans, we suggest using the best coffee maker with a grinder. You can also make coffee using a percolator should you prefer a traditional brewing method.
For a sweeter coffee cocktail, add your preferred sweetener. The Kahlua coffee already tastes sweet with notes of caramel and vanilla flavors. But if you want to make it sweeter, you can add a small amount of sugar or sweetened condensed milk.
For a creamier cocktail, stir in some cream. We added a drizzle of heavy cream, but you are free to use half and half or milk.
Take your Kahlua coffee drink to the next level with delectable toppings! When crowned with whipped cream, this spiked coffee drink is an absolute delight! To add a bit of pizzazz, try sprinkling some chocolate shavings on top, too.

Kahlua coffee is one of the simplest and best Kahlua drinks around. If you’re looking for more drinks with Kahlua, try combining this coffee liqueur with vodka to make a black Russian cocktail. Just add heavy cream to whip up a luscious white Russian cocktail. Make a cup of Mexican coffee by stirring together Kahlua, tequila, cinnamon, and coffee. Happy drinking!
