Coffee Liqueurs

Rich flavor, exquisite taste and exciting aroma make coffee flavored liqueurs such a huge success. Coffee liqueurs can be made either using rum, known as Tia Maria or vodka though latter is more commonly available and preferred. There are many vodka coffee liqueurs brands in the market including the famous Starbucks that was launched after the coffee liqueurs became popular. Starbucks has introduced cream coffee liqueur and regular coffee liqueur which is way cheaper than the other brands. However, you will find Starbucks liqueurs only in bars and liquor stores but not in your local Starbucks. The other brands include Copa de Ora, DeKuyper, Kahlua, Kamora, Sabroso, Kamora and Godiva.

Dozens of cocktails are prepared using coffee liqueur. Who says you have to drink it straight? Add more flavors to it and enjoy the powerful textures. Some of the very popular coffee liqueur cocktails include White Russian, Black Russian, Mudslide or the colorful Screaming Orgasm.

White Russian

White Russian is a sweet drink with a lot of sugar to negate the taste of hard alcohol. It is a very popular drink made of vodka, coffee liqueur and light cream. Easily made too; just pour coffee liqueur and vodka on ice and fill light cream on it. And, it is ready to serve.

Black Russian

This is a straightforward drink prepared by mixing 1 part of coffee liqueur with 2 parts of vodka in a glass filled with ice. While making this drink, it is recommended that you use high quality vodka because the cheap vodka will ruin the taste of the drink and won’t give you the desired flavor.

Mudslide

To prepare Mudslide, you need coffee liqueur, vodka, cream and Irish cream liqueur. Once you have all the ingredients in a shaker, shake them well with ice and empty the contents in a glass filled with ice. Your Mudslide is ready!

Screaming Orgasm
