Kahlua a coffee flavored liqueur actually has a Mexican run base. This liqueur takes a while to make as the sugarcane and the coffee beans uses to make it are handpicked during the harvest season which runs from October to March.
Prior to 1994, some Kahlua drinks had a 26.5 percent alcohol content, although since then 20 percent has been the norm. However, a 36 percent alcohol content drink was produced and available in liquor stores in the US, Canada and Australia in 2002. Kahlua Especial, as the drink was known, was less viscous and less sweet than the standard Kahlua and was produced from Arabica beans and grown in Veracruz, Mexico.
Kahlua cocktails and products typically have an alcohol content of twenty percent in most regions. In Ohio the content may be slightly higher. A higher end version sold in Australia, the U.S., and Canada, has a content of 36%. But, this version is only available in Mexico. It is less sweet and is especially helpful in increasing the metabolism of fat.
Many of the Drinks made with Kahlua include cream, milk, coffee, and chocolate. It may also be mixed with creme de'menthe,for a soothing, crisp taste. The drink is served in shot glasses. In Mexico it may come in chocolate cups, which can enhance the coffee flavor. Kahlua has caffeine, but only about a fourth of the amount in regular coffee. It would take quite a bit of Kahlua to feel the effects of the caffeine and the alcohol content would help negate those effects.
Once the Kahlua is ready to use there are several ways to use it. You can add it as a topping for a desert, add it cakes or creme brulees to give it that special taste. There are also drinks that use Kahlua as one of the main ingredients. Kahlua drinks include the Mudslide, the Black Russian and the White Russian. And it gives a cup of coffee a great taste when a little bit is added to it.
The alcohol present in drinks with Kahlua can help to lower fat metabolism, despite the fact that Kahlua contains no calories originating from fat. Most of the fat consumed is converted into acetate by the liver, although a small amount is converted into fat. In general, all the flavors of Kahlua mixed drinks contain between 11 and 11.5 carbohydrate grams per each ounce, most of these coming from the sugarcane and other flavorings added to the drink.
Typically, Kahlua is left to age in the barrels for two months, before being bottled, filtered, and packaged for resale. Several flavors of the liqueur are available in liquor stores and on grocery store shelves. Hazelnut, peppermint mocha, French vanilla, Especial, Standard, Mocha, and ready to serve are the varieties we can expect to see in stores. The flavored varieties can contain up to twice as many calories as the Especial and Standard versions, which have about 53 calories per one ounce serving.
Kahlua drinks have won various awards over the years, although many people will tell you they taste good anyway. The San Francisco based World Spirits completion awarded the brand three silver medals between 2005 and 2007, and a bronze medal in 2009. The Institute for Beverage Testing awarded the Especial an 85 score, in 2007.
