Northern Oasis & Kahlua Cocktails You’ll Love

Have you heard? February 27th is National Kahlua Day! 

If you’re reading this after the 27th, that’s okay. Better latte than never! 

 

Words can barely espresso our love for this coffee-inspired liqueur. It’s versatile, smooth, and a staple at any local bar, saloon, or tavern. Even if a Kahlua cocktail isn’t your go-to drink, today is the perfect opportunity to indulge in the bittersweet flavors of coffee bean and chestnut. If you’re feeling adventurous, ask your server to recommend something entirely new for you to try! 

 

And what’s even better? Kahlua with Northern Oasis Spirits, of course! Read on for brew-tiful cocktail recipes that perfectly combine the essence of rich coffee and Wisconsin craft spirits. Trust us, you’ll wonder where these drinks have bean all your life.  

 

Espresso Martini 

  • 1 part Kahlua 

  • 1 part Lakeview Vodka 

  • 1 part Espresso 

Combine ingredients in shaker with plenty of ice; shake for 10 seconds and strain into martini glass. Garnish with 2-3 coffee beans. Or 5 if you’re feeling sassy. After all, more espresso = less depresso! 

 

Riverbank Pick-Me-Up 

  • 1 part Kahlua 

  • 1 part Riverbank Spiced Rum 

  • Hot coffee 

  • Whipped Cream 

Mugs and kisses, anyone? Pour Kahlua and Riverbank Spiced Rum into your favorite mug; top with coffee and finish with a generous layer of whipped cream. 

 

Cinnamon Dolce Latte Shot 

  • 1 part Kahlua 

  • 1 part Lone Duck Cinnamon Whiskey 

  • 1 part Baileys Irish Cream 

  • Cinnamon Sugar 

Combine liquor in shaker; pour into shot glasses and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Sugar, spice, and everything nice...that’s what this shot is made of. 

 

White Leprechaun Cocktail 

  • 1 part Kahlua 

  • 1 part Shorewood Whiskey 

  • 2 parts half & half cream 

Combine ingredients in shaker; shake and strain into cocktail glass over ice. This drink is richer than a pot o' gold!
