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.
Brew the Coffee:
To make Coffee with Kahlua, start by brewing your favorite coffee. I like to use Pilon or Cafe Bustelo. I’ve never tried this recipe with flavored coffees such as hazelnut or vanilla, but it might be worth trying.
Add the Kahlua and Cream:
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. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
- 8 ounces freshly brewed coffee
- 1 ounce Kahlua
- Milk, cream, or half and half (optional)
- Sweetener of your choice (optional)
-
Brew the coffee.
-
Place Kahlua, creamer, and sweetener in a large coffee mug.
-
Add brewed coffee to the mug and stir to combine.
*Calories include coffee and Kahlua only.
*Preparation time includes time to brew coffee (5 minutes).
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.
Thank you for commenting! Your suggestions sound great 🙂
Coffee sounds amazing on a day like today!
Thanks, Melissa! Coffee is great everyday lol!
I drink hot cocoa with Kahlua/Bailey’s all the time. It’s so delicious! If I drank coffee, I would do this too!
Thank you! I have never tried it with hot cocoa. Will have to give that a shot 🙂
Yum yum yum. Definitely a good way to start the day, or finish off the evening. :]

Oh that sounds super yummy! I am such a coffee addict!!
Thank you, Nadine! I agree, coffee multiple times a day, everyday lol!
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.
Thank you, Nancy! I appreciate the recipe ideas. 🙂
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.

Good deal Nancy! Glad to hear you got everything “ironed” out. 🙂
