Originating in Mexico, Kahlúa has become the number one selling coffee liqueur in the world. Since 1936 Kahlua stands for a rich heritage, full of diversity and colour; something truly unique. Kahlúa Original is the hero ingredient in many cult cocktails and drinks such as White Russian, Espresso Martini & Mudslide. It will turn the average evening into a fun and different social highlight. //We've all had those evenings when your friend Steve enthusiastically cries out 'let's open a bar!'.

One of the guys had a great idea, two of them forked out rich and tasteful Arabica coffee, the second was a chemist who turned the idea into reality. Kahlua is crafted from the finest ingredients that grow side by side in rural Veracruz, Mexico. The actual word Kahlua has ties to ancient Arabic languages and is said to be slang for coffee. Yes, there was already street lingo in the 30's!
