So I picked up a liter bottle of Kahlua for the wife at the duty-free shop in Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat Airport. She likes Kahlua. But she’s never been much of a drinker, and I’ve not really had that much Kahlua myself. I know you can make a Black Russian with it and milk. A little in coffee is good. What else goes well with it? ---

Actually, a black Russian is Kahlua and _vodka_, no milk. A white Russian is a black Russian with milk (Kahlua, vodka, milk) and a sombrero is just Kahlua and milk. ---

A friend of mine makes her own Kahlua from scratch, if you’re interested. ---

Of course. See? It’s been years since I’ve had a Black Russian, and I plumb forgot the main ingredient that makes it _Russian_. We’re short on vodka but well fixed to make a sombrero. > [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > A friend of mine makes her own Kahlua from scratch, if you’re interested. Well, I don’t think it would be economical to mail any to me, but we might be interested in the recipe for that, if you could get it for us. > [@Teacake](#): > > Pour some over vanilla ice cream. That sounds familiar. We may have tried that before someplace, possibly a Mexican restaurant. I may pick up some ice cream tomorrow. The wife asks if any other flavors are good with it, too. (She loves chocolate and has an aversion to vanilla, but I say you don’t want to take away from the Kahlua flavor with any fancy ice cream.) Thanks all! ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > Standard American coffee > > Shot of Bailey’s > > Shot of Kahlua > quite good! Mmmmm. Now that sounds good. I found [these recipes](http://www.mexperience.co.uk/bar/kahlua.htm) online. The wife shuddered at the mention of the Kahlua Cockroach; I’m not sure that one sounds all that good myself. ---

[Baby Guinness](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Guinness). Can be made with Kahlua, but made most often with Tia Maria. I like it with Patron XO Cafe. Yum! ---

While I hardly advocate this, I did discover once that Kahlua and Coke tastes EXACTLY like that “Coke Blak” stuff they used to sell. ---

I had a good oatmeal cookie recipe that called for a little Kahlua, unfortunately I forgot where I found the recipe, too many cookbooks and magazines. ---

I missed this part! Pour the Tequila and Kahlua into a glass, and (optionally) set on fire with a lighter. Holy shit! ---
