Coffee with Kahlua is warm and creamy with a hint of coffee liqueur. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy on a chilly day wrapped up in your favorite blanket.
Rain. Ugh! It’s the rainy season here in Florida, and we’ve had storms and rain for days. The roads are slick, the grass is muddy, and the canals are filling up.
Going outside is downright dreadful. If the temperature were about twenty degrees cooler, I’d swear it was autumn.
Because of the yucky weather, I stayed inside most of the weekend. It was the perfect time to curl up in bed and have one of my favorite warm drinks, a Coffee with Kahlua.
Coffee with Kahlua only takes a few minutes to make and can be made as strong or sweet as you like. I can’t think of a better way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon.
How to Make Coffee with Kahlua:
To make Coffee with Kahlua, start by brewing your favorite coffee. I’ve never tried this recipe with flavored coffees such as hazelnut or vanilla, but it might be worth trying.
Choose your favorite coffee mug and add one ounce (1 shot) of Kahlua or coffee flavored liqueur. Kahlua is slightly sweet, so you may not need additional sweeteners.
If you do prefer more sweetness, try adding coffee creamer or another sweetener of your choice.
I’ve found that coffee creamer adds both sweetness and creaminess but a teaspoon or two of sweetened condensed milk works well in a pinch. Milk, cream, or half and half work well if you want to add creaminess without additional sugar.
Finally, pour in the freshly brewed coffee and stir to mix. For extra sweetness and flavor, top with some of our Irish Cream whipped cream. It’s the perfect finishing touch!

A classic morning beverage. Best with either no cream and a single origin coffee bean, or with a heavy cream if you need to add something to it. If you’re feeling real crazy, throw a whole cardamom in a hand-grinder and garnish ever so lightly.

I drink hot cocoa with Kahlua/Bailey’s all the time. It’s so delicious! If I drank coffee, I would do this too!

This sounds great! I have another one that has cardamom and star anise, powdered sugar, brown sugar, cocoa and cinnamon. I made it but didn’t have the Kalua, so now I have a tiny bottle of it to try this. I want to try it again with the cardamom (although I cut down on it as it suggested 10 pods! Not! Was too much. I think 1 is enough. Going to try it again tonight. Iced recipes and some hot, are at

I am experimenting all the time.
John
Thank you, Nancy! I appreciate the recipe ideas. 🙂
Nancy Spoolman
you’re welcome! I just updated the recipes and remade the Winter Spice coffee. Less cardamom and star anise, etc. It was absolutely delicious, although a bit sweet with the Kahlua. So, next time I won’t add as much brown sugar, but I think I have it down pat now.
Nancy
John
Good deal Nancy! Glad to hear you got everything “ironed” out. 🙂

I love Kahlua and actually love making desserts with it. I am wondering if this idea here will translate to a coffee kahlua panna cotta or creme brulee. But a perfect kick for the early morning! Loving this!
John
Thank you, Meeta, the pannacotta or creme brulee sound like great ideas. Have a wonderful day!
Melissa Dixon
I have really been digging coffee lately. I think I will have to try this one. I have been drinking my coffee with ghee and MCT oil each day but I would love this too I think. I love a good creamy flavor!
John
Thank you, Melissa! Kim and I hope you make it and enjoy it sometime. 🙂
Censie Sawyer
YUM! It is snowing here today, this would be the perfect hot coffee drink to be enjoying today! I love coffee and drink it every day but now i will be trying this recipe.
John
Thank you, Censie! We hope you enjoy it 🙂
Gemille Sleweon
This looks delicious! I gave up dairy last year because of health reasons, but I know my friends would appreciate this tasty cup of joe. I’ve never heard of Kahlua up until this point, but it seems like a tasty edition to coffee.
John
Thank you for commenting, Gemille! Just an FYI, I checked Kahula’s website and it’s dairy, lactose, and allergen free. The cream or milk for this recipe is optional or you could always use coconut milk. Figured I would give you a head’s up that there is a dairy-free option in case you wanted to try it for yourself. Have a lovely weekend 🙂

This is one of my favourite ways to have coffee. on the last day of class in college we’d always start our morning off drinking as a campus tradition, and Kahlua in my coffee was alway my preferred beverage
John
Thank you, Aitza! It’s one of our favorites as well. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
