Kahlua's First Cream Liqueur
Kahlua was born in Veracruz, Mexico in 1936 and built its name on 100% Arabica coffee beans and rum. Chocolate Sips, launched in October 2024, is the brand's first-ever step into cream liqueurs: a deliberately recipe-free indulgence designed to be poured straight from the bottle. The White Chocolate flavor leads with real cream, so the coffee sits as a balanced hint behind the white chocolate rather than the other way round — the brand calls the result "liquid white gold." It launched alongside a pairing with Whipshots, the vodka-infused whipped cream brand co-founded by Cardi B. Browse the Kahlua collection and more liqueurs at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The brand's own description: creamy and dreamy, with a velvety smooth mouthfeel and a rich, decadent taste of white chocolate, finished with a balanced hint of Kahlua coffee. There is no wrong serve here — the texture does the work.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat, over ice, or well chilled, exactly as it comes. For the launch serve, top it with vanilla whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie (the brand's Gingerbread Delight), or use it anywhere a white chocolate coffee cream belongs — over ice cream, or in a dessert coffee.
