Kahlua Macchiato

Indulge in the rich and creamy flavors of a Kahlua Macchiato, a delightful coffee cocktail that marries the bold sweetness of Kahlua liqueur with velvety steamed milk and a hint of vanilla. This drink is perfect for those cozy evenings when you want to treat yourself to something special. Originating in Italy, the macchiato, meaning 'stained' or 'spotted', is traditionally made with espresso, but this variation elevates it to a decadent dessert-like experience.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Caramel sauce
for drizzling
Whipped cream
to taste
Vanilla syrup
1 tablespoon
Milk
1 cup
Espresso or strong brewed coffee
1 shot (about 1 ounce)
Kahlua liqueur
1 ounce

Instructions

  1. Brew a shot of espresso or prepare strong coffee using your preferred method.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. In a coffee mug, pour the Kahlua liqueur and vanilla syrup, allowing the flavors to mingle.
  4. Add the hot espresso or coffee to the mug and stir gently to combine.
  5. Using a frother or whisk, froth the heated milk until it is creamy and foamy.
  6. Pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect, allowing the espresso to remain visible beneath.
  7. Top generously with whipped cream, then drizzle with caramel sauce for an added touch of sweetness.
  8. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy this luxurious coffee experience!

Tips

  • 💡 For a stronger coffee flavor, use a double shot of espresso.
  • 💡 Try experimenting with flavored syrups, such as hazelnut or chocolate, for a unique twist.
  • 💡 If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with almond milk or oat milk.
