Irish Coffee with Baileys and Kahlua Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Should I put Baileys or Kahlua in coffee? ›

Kahlua is a dark liquid without the creaminess of Baileys. They both taste of coffee but kahlua is much stonger. If you want one to add to coffee I'd suggest Kahlua, but if you want one to sip alongside your coffee I'd suggest Baileys.

HOW TO MAKE. Into an Irish coffee mug (it's a thing – look it up), or heat resistant mug, add Kahlúa coffee liqueur, Jameson Irish whiskey and your favorite hot coffee. Spoon the whipped cream on top and garnish with grated nutmeg ('tis the season!)

Baileys and Kahlua both complement a freshly brewed cup of coffee, but there are distinct differences between the two liqueurs. Baileys is creamy and derives its taste from cream, cocoa, and Irish Whiskey. Kahlua is dark without the creaminess of Baileys and is made with 100 percent arabica coffee, rum, and sugar.

Kahlua is more coffee-flavored than Baileys - which comes off as sweeter and creamier in general. This doesn't mean it's better or worse though, because there are people who prefer one over the other! If you want to try them both out for yourself, go to your local liquor store and ask for a Kahlua or Baileys.

Kahlua contains more sugar than Baileys, so if you're watching your sugar intake, Baileys may be the better choice. Nonetheless, both liqueurs can be enjoyed in moderation and make great additions to various co*cktail recipes.

Irish Cream - the bailey's floats on top of the Kahlua to create the middle layer. Whiskey - traditionally Crown Royal, a Canadian Whiskey, is used but you can use whatever brand of whisky you like.

Pour Irish whiskey into the prepared glass. Fill with coffee to within 1/2 inch of top. Add sugar and stir. Top with whipped cream.

We're not sure what about “whiskey” and “cream” screams “for females,” but Baileys creators Gluckman and Jago allude to it as a “girly drink,” and “a woman's drink,” respectively.

Made with 100% Arabica coffee beans and rum, Kahlúa coffee liqueur is one of the main ingredients in many of the world's favorite co*cktails.

What do you put Kahlua in? ›

What is the best way to drink Kahlua? A Black Russian or White Russian are both good with Kahlua. Vodka/Kahlua and Cola for the Black version or cream for the White. A version of Baby Guinness which is a shot glass 3/4 full of Kahlua with Baileys Irish Cream floated on top.

It can be served straight up or on the rocks depending on your preference. You can also add Kahlua to your favorite coffee drink. Pour some in a cup of hot coffee for an enjoyable beverage. Additionally, you can even add it into chocolate milk or any other type of creamy beverage you like.

Others say 18 months to two years. It doesn't go bad, it just loses some of its flavor, and it will taste funny. But it won't hurt you. They all mention that the pre-mixed Kahlua drinks won't last nearly that long.

Even though Kahlúa contains caffeine, it's a very small amount. So unless you have an extremely low tolerance for caffeine, your Kahlúa nightcaps won't keep you tossing and turning.

Black coffee with anisette is an Italian household staple. I ve also had it with Amaretto, Godiva Chocolate liqour, Kalhua, Baileys Irish Creme, Grand Marnier, and Malibu Coconut rum. Bailey's or Kahlua go nicely with coffee. Other options: amaretto, chocolate liqueur, vanilla vodka.

Kahlúa already has a coffee flavor, so it's not a pungent addition to your brew, but it adds a touch of sweetness. If you don't want caffeine, add Kahlúa to your hot chocolate. To get a little hazelnut (and vanilla) flavor, add Frangelico to your coffee. Amaretto isn't just for co*cktails on ice.

Instead of milk, add a drop of Baileys Original Irish Cream, or use your favourite flavour of Baileys if you're feeling creative – they're all just sooo delicious in a hot cup of coffee! Stir it together and add whatever toppings your heart desires – a little whipped cream always hits the spot.

Kahlua is a coffee liqueur with a strong coffee flavor and a hint of caramel. It is a good choice for espresso martinis that you want to have a strong coffee flavor. Baileys is an Irish cream liqueur with a creamy texture and a flavor of chocolate, vanilla, and cream.
