When the Temputure Reads Kahlua

Kahlua

While the Mid-West and the East Coast hunker down for the Nor’easter over here on the West Coast we’re on watch for El Nino! Not sure of the opinion of other beach babies here in Cali but, I’m looking forward to the down pours that have been predicted.

I can’t wait!  Let it rain let it rain…but in order for it to be a pleasant time over the weekend listening to the storm while occasionally taking a glance out the window. I’ll sip on a warm beverage with a little somethin somethin in it to warm the innners. Right now I’m racking my brain coming up with recipes and snacks ideas for my shopping list that are sure to keep us super-comfy and cozy over the weekend! Most of all I’m going to make sure that I have the right booz in my basket! When you’re regions weather has you on lock down you might as well take the time to make it a house party and enjoy yourself. I keep my stock of Red, White and Sparkling Wine on full so that’s a given but I’m more concerned with making sure that I have what is needed to spike the Cocoa!

Enjoy Tasty Kahlua Cocktails

With that being said….I’ve come to the conclusion that all is needed for this go around of  El Nino will be The Big Kahuna Kahlua.  With this tasty coffee liqueur I can spike the cocoa, coffee and mix up some sweet treats!

Kahlua with Coffee (Mexican Coffee)

Ingredients: Eight ounce cup of coffee and a shot of Kahlua

Brew the coffee and add a shot of Kahlua to the mug. You do not need to add sugar since the Kahlua is sweetened, but add milk or cream if you prefer.

It doesn’t get simpler than this! Add a couple of shots of Kahlua to a glass filled with ice.
