As a nod to the fine art of premium coffee flavoring and to spark the appetites of coffee connoisseurs, Kahlúa - the world's number one coffee liqueur - has recently introduced Kahlúa Coffee Cream, a limited-edition premium coffee liqueur combines that Kahlúa with fresh, natural cream to add a smooth, flavorful kick to your coffee-drinking experience.
For the Kahlúa fan or coffee drinker with a taste for something extra, Kahlúa Coffee Cream is a natural addition. I found it far smoother than similar coffee cream liqueurs, with a distinct mix of vanilla and caramel flavors. Shade-grown, handpicked coffee beans from the Vera Cruz region of Mexico are combined with locally sourced ingredients, including Mexican vanilla and cane rum, to create Kahlúa s unique flavor. The rich coffee cream adds another dimension to the liqueur, enhancing Kahlúa s signature notes of vanilla, caramel and hints of dark chocolate.
"Kahlúa has long been considered the go-to choice for coffee liqueurs and we couldn t think of a more natural fit for the Kahlúa family than a cream-based liqueur, " says Andy Nash, Brand Director for Kahlúa.
For only three months, October through December, Kahlúa Coffee Cream will join Kahlúa's range of premium coffee liqueurs, including Kahlúa Mocha, Kahlúa French Vanilla, Kahlúa Hazelnut and Kahlúa Especial.
Kahlúa Coffee Cream is not only delicious in coffee, served neat or on the rocks, but also in cocktails. New York-based mixologist Julio De Los Santos did us the honor of putting together a few cocktail suggestions for Kahlúa Coffee Cream:
