Nice. We cut Kailua down to 1 oz so wouldn’t be so sweet. Coffee bean accents. It’s a keeper.
This is dangerously delicious! We used Gretzky Canadian Cream because we didn’t have creme de cacao. This one is a keeper!
This recipe is DEa
Wow! This recipe was absolutely perfect! I was worried it would be too boozy but it was very sweet and mocha-like in flavor. Bought kahlua especial on accident, thought it was a better option but really it’s 70 proof, still worked great
This drink was great. I quadrupled the recipe and didn’t add the full amount of creme de cacao as I wanted more of a coffee/espresso taste. I also used Starbucks double shot espresso with cream in place of the brewed espresso which comes in 4 pk cans. It was perfect and I won 2nd prize in a beach party contest! It was tasty! I also added a few brewed coffee ice cubes to keep the drink cold
I used Pinnacle Whipped vodka and topped with whipped cream – delicious. Sometimes I add shaved chocolate to the rim of the glass. Delicious!
I used Smirnoff Whipped Vodka in this recipe. I felt like making this “fizzy” so I topped it off with club soda which cut the sweetness a bit. VERY good.
