Coffee Cocktails

By -

Coffee liqueurs such as Kahlua and Tia Maria are among the most popular liqueurs in the world, and are very versatile.

Kahlua is the most well-known brand, and is the second largest single liqueur brand worldwide, but it’s certainly not the only brand. Copa de Ora, DeKuyper, Godiva, Kamora, Sabroso, even Starbucks, all make liqueurs based on a neutral spirit, such as vodka. Tia Maria, on the other hand, is based on a cane spirit, similar to rum, and so has a slightly different flavor. Any of these brands will work well in the following recipes, or you can even make your own.

Pour ingredients over ice in an old fashioned glass and serve.
