Kahlúa's Gone Creamy

We all know Kahlúa and most of us regularly stock it in our bars, but for the next few months we can get a taste of the richer, creamier side of Kahlúa. For this holiday season the famous coffee liqueur brand has released Kahlúa Coffee Cream and it is spectacular. For as good as it is it will only last for awhile (so the story is at this moment) and we should enjoy it while it lasts then chalk it up as yet another coffee cream liqueur that will vanish (anybody recall Starbucks attempt?).

It is quite a shame that Kahlúa Coffee Cream is supposed to be a fleeting bottle because I have come to dig it as a smooth cream for my afternoon coffee, a relaxing dessert, and an quick alternative to the many Kahlua and cream mixed drinks. The balance of coffee and cream is nice; not too rich, nor too sweet and just the right amount of coffee flavor without the caffeine kick. This one also has those luscious chocolate, vanilla and caramel notes that are signature Kahlua. At any rate, while it's around I encourage you to check this liqueur out and enjoy it on the long, cold nights ahead in some of your favorite coffee-flavored cocktails.
