Kahlua Milk History
Kahlúa Milk is named after the coffee liqueur brand "Kahlúa." Kahlúa was born in Mexico in 1936, made with Arabica coffee beans, sugarcane spirit, and vanilla.
Kahlúa Milk emerged naturally as a home cocktail without a specific creator, spreading worldwide alongside the brand's popularity. Thanks to its simple recipe, it's easy to make at home and beloved as a "beginner's cocktail."
It can be seen as a simplified version of the White Russian, characterized by being lighter and smoother without vodka.
