NATIONAL KAHLUA DAY

NATIONAL KAHLUA DAY

National Kahlua Day on February 27th recognizes the rich, cream coffee liqueur that also serves up a great many delicious desserts! To celebrate, you may want to use Kahlua, a coffee-flavored rum-based liquor, to flavor your ice cream or another dessert such as cheesecake or cake.  It also tastes great in coffee, hot chocolate, creamy cocktails, as a shot or on the rocks.

Pedro Domecq began producing Kahlua in 1936. In 1994, the company merged with Allied Lyons forming Allied Domecq. In 2005, Allied Domecq was partially acquired by Pernod Ricard which merged with the Swedish Vin & Sprit (V & S Group) in March of 2008. 

Kahlua is made from coffee and rum, so it does contain caffeine. Kahlua is found to be used in a few notable cocktails, including the following:

•  B-52
•  Baby Guinness
•  Black Russian
•  Mudslide
•  White Russian
•  Espresso Martini
•  Caribbean Mudslide

This alcoholic beverage adds to cocktails and adult flavored desserts equally well. What kind of desserts will you create?
