Kahlúa is a famous American coffee liqueur. It is heavy and sweet, with a very distinct taste of Mexican coffee, which gives it a dark brown colour. It has been produced by Allied Domecq which was acquired in 2005 by Pernod Ricard.

    * Alcohol content: formerly 26.5%, recently lowered to 20% in most markets to be more compatible with liquor laws. In 2002 a higher-priced premium product called Kahlúa Especial became available in the United States after previously being offered only in the duty-free market. Made with Arabica coffee beans, it has an alcohol content of 35% with lower viscosity and sweetness. Kahlúa is the second biggest liqueur brand in the world which has a history extending back to before World War II. It can be used with cocktails and with ice cream, cake, cheesecake and various other desserts
