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.
After the beans have been handpicked they are processed in order to extract what we know as the coffee beans. The coffee beans are then dried, after which the husk is taken off. The coffee beans are then placed in burlap bags so that they age to perfection which gives us the great flavor that we love. The beans are then roasted.
Milk, coffee, cocoa and cream are typical ingredients of Kahlua mixed drinks. Kahlua contains about a quarter of the caffeine found in coffee, around 10 mg per 100 ml. Kahlua flavored chocolates are sold in Mexico, along with chocolate cups looking like shot glasses, to serve them in.
