    What Is the Best Way To Drink Kahlua? 

    The best way to drink Kahlua is to go grab a glass, fill it with ice cubes, add Kahlua, and stir to cool it down.

    Add a bit of orange zest to jazz it up a bit or if that doesn’t tickle your fancy then you choose the best way to drink Kahlua! You can combine it with coffee, ice cream, or vodka using any of the recipes below for a few fun and delicious treats.

    Can You Drink Kahlua Straight?

    Absolutely! Go ahead, grab that bottle of Kahlua and drink up! Kahlua essentially tastes like a sweet coffee syrup and can be drunk warm, straight up or served over ice. 

    Should Kahlua Be Refrigerated?

    This really can be answered by your personal preference. Some people prefer to keep Kahlua refrigerated for taste reason and some don’t.

    However, putting aside personal preference, Kahlua should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from exposure to heat and always make sure to keep the bottle tightly sealed!

    Most Popular Kahlua Drinks 

    1. Kahlua Coffee

    Kahlua Coffee

    Combining coffee and Kahlua, Kahlua coffee is almost like an Irish coffee with Kahlua instead of whiskey.

    What makes this pairing so perfect is that Kahlua already has a coffee flavor! To complete it, top it with some whipped coconut cream, grated dark chocolate, and sugar if you want it a little sweet!

    2. Kahlua and Cream Milk Shake

    Kahlua and Cream Milk Shake

    Kahlua, vanilla ice cream, and cream make up this delicious, adults-only, Kahlua and cream milkshake.

    You’ll easily be able to drink 1 or 2 of these in a night and still be able to get up and go the next day!

    3. White Russian Cocktail

    White Russian Cocktail

    If you’re familiar with a White Russian, then you’ll love how this recipe just gives it a bit of an extra kick.

    Simply combine Kahlua, coffee, and vodka, add a little cream to sit on top and you’re good to go!

    If you like it a little extra boozy, add some more vodka, and if it’s too thick simply skip the cream!

    4. Kahlua Mudslides

    Kahlua Mudslides

    Kahlua, vodka, Irish cream liqueur, and ice cream make this classic drink – Kahlua mudslides.

    They are frozen, they are sweet and they are simply the perfect summertime treat!

    5. Strawberry Kahlua Sombrero

    Strawberry Kahlua Sombrero

    The Strawberry Sombrero is a reddish-pink creamy cocktail that blends the flavors of coffee, milk, and strawberry.

    The richness of the milk – assuming you use whole milk, which I recommend – dilutes the sweetness.

    6. Kahlua and Baileys Iced Coffee Drink

    Kahlua and Baileys Iced Coffee Drink

    Enjoy this delicious blended Iced coffee drink recipe for an afternoon pick-me-up or as an after-dinner cocktail.

    It’s made with Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlua, and Cold brew coffee. No matter the occasion, it’s perfect for those warm summer days.

    7. Adult Chocolate Milk

    Adult Chocolate Milk

    Kahlua liqueur goes wonderfully when paired with chocolate and in cocktail recipes.

    This adult chocolate milk is proof of that! It combines the coffee taste with cream, chocolate milk, and vodka for an unbelievable experience. 

    8. Kahlua Espresso Martini

    Kahlua Espresso Martini

    Kick back, relax or even give yourself a little pick me up with this delicious Kahlua drink. It’s perfect for happy hour, an after-dinner cocktail or to sip after work. 

    Cold-brewed Espresso and Kahlua are the base of this delicious vodka martini. The caffeine will give you a jolt of energy and the alcohol will help take that edge off.

    It is truly a sweet combination for a lovely vodka martini.

    9. Black Russian Drink

    Black Russian Drink

    As one of the more simple Kahlua drinks, the Black Russian is a concoction of vodka and coffee liqueur.

    It contains two parts vodka to one part coffee liqueur. You begin pouring the vodka over ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass, followed by the coffee liqueur.

    10. Kahlua Coke Float

    Kahlua Coke Float

    The Kahlua coke float may be known to some as a Black Cow, is a delectable dessert beverage.

    Loaded with vanilla ice cream and topped with coke, the coldness from the ice cream causes the coke to fizz and bubble up, creating a drink that is creamy yet carbonated. By adding in the Kahlua, it creates a fun adult treat.

    11. Bushwacker

    Bushwacker

    If you’re looking for a drink that will knock you on your butt, then this is the one! This is because a  Bushwacker wonderfully combines vodka, Kahlua, amaretto, and Bailey’s.

    If you really want to get creative, top it off with a little coconut cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Enjoy!

    12. Kahlua and Cream

    Serve this luscious Kahlua And Cream cocktail at your next party! It’s smooth, delicious, and takes about 5 minutes to make.
