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.
