February 27th
National Kahlua Day

Kahlua is a sweet coffee liqueur that is made from rum, sugar, vanilla beans, and roasted Arabica coffee. It originated in Mexico in the mid-20th century and has since become a popular ingredient in cocktails and desserts. Kahlua has a rich, dark color and a smooth, sweet flavor with notes of coffee and caramel. It is typically served as a digestif after a meal, or as an ingredient in cocktails such as White Russians, Espresso Martinis, and Mudslides. Kahlua can also be used as a flavoring in desserts, such as in tiramisu, ice cream, and cheesecake. The sweetness and coffee flavor of Kahlua make it a versatile ingredient that can enhance the flavor of many different dishes.
