Kahlua a coffee flavored liqueur actually has a Mexican run base. This liqueur takes a while to make as the sugarcane and the coffee beans uses to make it are handpicked during the harvest season which runs from October to March.
Prior to 1994, some Kahlua drinks had a 26.5 percent alcohol content, although since then 20 percent has been the norm. However, a 36 percent alcohol content drink was produced and available in liquor stores in the US, Canada and Australia in 2002. Kahlua Especial, as the drink was known, was less viscous and less sweet than the standard Kahlua and was produced from Arabica beans and grown in Veracruz, Mexico.
Kahlua cocktails and products typically have an alcohol content of twenty percent in most regions. In Ohio the content may be slightly higher. A higher end version sold in Australia, the U.S., and Canada, has a content of 36%. But, this version is only available in Mexico. It is less sweet and is especially helpful in increasing the metabolism of fat.
The season for harvesting the coffee beans and sugarcane is from October to March, and once harvested the husk, or dry papery exterior is removed. The distinctive flavor of the coffee comes from it aging in 50 burlap bags until they are ready to be processed. Yeast and water are combined for fermentation, after the stalks have been ground down and the juices boiled until they become molasses. The sugar is converted into alcohol until the desired proof level reached, after the spirit has been distilled; the resulting mixture is stored in large barrels.
Once the Kahlua is ready to use there are several ways to use it. You can add it as a topping for a desert, add it cakes or creme brulees to give it that special taste. There are also drinks that use Kahlua as one of the main ingredients. Kahlua drinks include the Mudslide, the Black Russian and the White Russian. And it gives a cup of coffee a great taste when a little bit is added to it.
When the sugar cane is harvested, the stalks are ground and the juice is extracted through boiling. This renders a substance known as molasses. Water and yeast are added to begin the fermentation process. The liquid is distilled when the sugar has converted to alcohol. This is a similar process to making other spirits. When the right level of alcohol, or proof, is attained, the substance is then stored in round barrels.
You can easily prepare and enjoy your own homemade drinks made with Kahlua, either with simple soy milk recipes, or more complicated drinks. Dairy products are present in already prepared Kahlua drinks, while Standard, Hazelnut, Vanilla, Mocha and Especial can be enjoyed by vegans.
Kahlua is not known for its fat burning properties, as alcohol slows the process. But, it can be a lower calorie alternative to a thick milk shake on a warm evening, especially if the flavored versions are served on ice.
