Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail

March 7, 2014 35 Comments

Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail Garnished with Cocoa Nibs

This Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail is great all year round but I think especially for St. Paddy’s Day!

Espresso, Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail

I originally intended to make a Kahlua based cocktail using the components of a White Russian but decided to segue and came up with a combination for a Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail that would also honor two upcoming special days. One is obvious;  something for St Paddy’s Day is imperative. This year though we’ve got more to celebrate.


Thinking ahead and in honor of our moving our clocks the same direction, Kahlua has asked me to help celebrate National ‘Cocktail Your Coffee Day’ on Monday (#cocktailyourcoffee). Knowing we’ll all be a bit wearier as we navigate through the first day of Daylight Savings; we’re thinking your coffee needs a bit of Kahlua to celebrate this eventful day; why not a Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail.

Vodka was out, espresso was in and I’m telling you this is one great dessert cocktail (she says as she sits here sipping it this morning; please promise to ignore any typos!). Join us and let us know when you’ve taken a sip of your favorite coffee cocktail in an effort to thwart the effects of Daylight Savings!

Of course it can be as simple as just pouring a shot into a hot cup of coffee, but if you want some additional ideas on incorporating Kahlua with coffee, visit Kahlua’s website and consider an Espresso Martini or Café Con Leche Iced.

Espresso, Kahlua and Irish Whiskey Frozen Cocktail

I’m not sure I will ever mix Kahlua and vodka with cream again; this was such a successful veering off the beaten path; I LOVE it. Richer and less biting with the Irish Liqueur instead of vodka; it’s truly a winner.

I think good enough to plan twice. Have one on Monday and celebrate everything about the advent of spring, including days that will be warm enough to sit outdoors in the evening and sip a cool, icy cocktail. I can’t wait after this winter, how about you?

Still, make sure you bring it into rotation for St. Patrick’s Day too…what a great way to add some Irish Whiskey to a celebration; I just can not believe I’ve not done this before!

    Dear creative culinary, I'm Romina and I'm a comunications manager in Momoto Café Chile (it's a mexican Coffee) I'm writing to you because of your exquisite recepie. I was wondering if I can publish that recepie (quoting your name of course) in our facebook fan page and in our blog. Is it possible? Just thinking in adding our logo into the picture. Thanks and looking forward to hear from you =)

    The Irish in me loves this. The Kahlua lover in me loves this. The "I can't wait for Spring" in me loves this. Really...what's not to love?!

    Well I am not sure I can cocktail my coffee on a Monday morning...not always the best way for a mom to start the week but I sure can try it on a Sunday evening, right? You've made a great combination here with this chilly drink and I would love to share one with you!

    Well I'm a tiny part Irish, and it's sure been chilly here, so a Chilly Irishman is pretty appropriate, I'd say! This looks great -- very clever cocktail. Definitely a winner. Thanks.
