Coffee Liqueur

Cocktails with Coffee Liqueur

Kahlúa-style drinks — Espresso Martini and White Russian — that use coffee liqueur even when espresso or cream joins the glass.

Coffee liqueur is the shelf-stable coffee bottle. Espresso Martini still wants a fresh shot as well; White Russian pairs the liqueur with vodka and cream.

Coffee Liqueur cocktail FAQ

Can I make an Espresso Martini with only coffee liqueur?

You will get a sweet coffee cocktail, not the classic. The namesake drink needs espresso in the shaker plus the liqueur.

What is in a White Russian?

Vodka, coffee liqueur, and heavy cream, built over ice. No espresso required.
