Mixing Cocktails with Kahlua

Making Shooters with Kahlua
Pour a B-52 shot. B-52 shots are a party favorite largely because of their cool presentation. When poured correctly, the alcohols layer on top of each other in three distinct rows. In a standard 1-1.5 oz. shot glass, pour approximately 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp) of Kahlua, followed by 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp.) of a cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys) and then 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp) of orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier).
Make a Blow Job shot. Despite its crude name, the Blow Job shot is incredibly popular. In a shot glass, pour 0.5 oz. (1 tbsp.) of Irish cream and 0.5 oz. (1 tbsp.) of Kahlua. Top the shot with a large dollop of whipped cream.
Try an After Eight shot. For a shot that's a sweet treat, pour 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp.) of Kahlua into a shot glass. Slowly add 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp.) of peppermint Schnapps, then 0.3 oz. (0.6 tbsp.) of Irish cream liqueur. The three layers should sit on top of each other for a fun effect.
Dare to drink a Brave Bull shot. For a simple shot with a lot of kick, try mixing Kahlua and tequila. In a shot glass pour 0.5 oz. (1 tbsp.) of Kahlua and 0.5 oz. (1 tbsp.) tequila. For a variation on this shot, add a dash of cream.
Adding Kahlua to Other Beverages
Spike your hot chocolate with Kahlua. To add some excitement to your cocoa, pour 1.5 oz. (3 tbsp.) of Kahlua into a mug of hot chocolate. Stir with a spoon until the liquor is mixed in. Add a dollop of whipped cream to the top of the beverage if desired.
Add Kahlua to decaffeinated coffee. Add 1 oz. (2 tbsp.) of Kahlua and 1 oz. of milk or cream to a coffee mug. Pour in decaffeinated coffee and stir. Add sugar or sweetener to taste. Don't consume alcohol and caffeine at the same time. If you mix the two, you are likely to feel less intoxicated than you actually are. This will put you at a higher risk for alcohol poisoning and drinking-related accidents.
Spike your milkshake with Kahlua. For an indulgent treat, make a milkshake and add a kick of Kahlua to it. In a blender, put 3 scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream and 4 oz. ( ½ a cup ) of milk or cream. Add in 2 oz. (4 tbsp.) of Kahlua and blend everything together. Pour the milkshake into a glass and top with whipped cream or chocolate syrup if you wish.
