What is liqueur

Liqueur is a rather sweet alcoholic drink with a persistent aroma. Fruit and berry juices are used as the basis for its production, and herbal infusions are added. The strength of drinks varies greatly depending on what was used as raw material and the technology used to make the drink. Manufacturers produce drinks with alcohol content from 15% to 75%.

Famous liqueurs would not have appeared if it were not for the desire of a medieval man to find an elixir that would give eternal life. Monks, alchemists and doctors experimented with the ingredients in every possible way, producing a wide variety of types of liqueur. Some of these drinks were even named after knightly orders. Some recipes are still used today by companies producing alcoholic beverages.

From Mexico with love: imitation Kahlua coffee liqueur in detail

It can be said that Kahlua coffee liqueur is the pure embodiment of a regional product. Every drop is created in Mexico, using ingredients grown in the state of Veracruz, just three hours east of Mexico City. At first it will seem that it will be very difficult to recreate such a drink at home. But if you arm yourself with the knowledge scattered bits and pieces on the Internet, preparing a decent imitation of this amazing liqueur is very simple.

What are we going to deal with? Created in the Mexican state of Yucatan in 1936 by four enterprising amigos, Kahlua is the world's original and best-selling coffee liqueur. It is made by mixing roasted and coarsely ground Arabica coffee beans with water, cane alcohol and vanilla extract. Before bottling, the drink rests for eight weeks and is tinted with caramel syrup for a rich, dark brown color.

p, blockquote 1,0,0,0,0 —>

p, blockquote 2,0,0,0,0 —>

To date (April 2019), the Kahlua line, owned by the Pernod Ricard holding, includes 7 separate coffee liqueurs: the original Kahlua, a strong version of Kahlúa Especial, Kahlúa Chili Chocolate (chili and chocolate), Kahlúa Mint Mocha (mint and chocolate), Kahlúa Salted Caramel, Kahlúa French Vanilla and Espresso Martini. We will try to make the original Kahlua, but with a proper understanding of homemade drinks, making other versions of the coffee liqueur will not be at all difficult.

p, blockquote 3,0,0,0,0 —>

To make a truly close imitation of Kahlua, you'll have to do some research. Fortunately, there are landmarks and there are many of them. What we know about the production of Mexican coffee liqueur at the moment:

p, blockquote 4,0,0,0,0 —>

Coffee . Arabica from the state of Veracruz. Slow roasting at lower than normal temperatures, resulting in less caramelization of the sugars and generally a stronger coffee flavor with high acidity and medium body. Grinding is coarse, brewing is cold (Cold Brew).

Conclusion: it is optimal to use medium-roasted Arabica beans, coarsely ground (preferably in a burr grinder - this preserves a more precise acidity), as for a French press, or a little finer (but coarser than for espresso), cold brewing is preferable, which produces a less bitter and soft extract.

p, blockquote 5,0,1,0,0 —>

Spied on production in Veracruz.

Vanillin . Kahlúa factories use vanilla extract made from vanilla beans also grown in Veracruz. The technology for its preparation remains a “brand secret,” but it is unlikely to differ much from the standard preparation of the extract.

Conclusion: it is optimal to use vanilla extract, but the equivalent in the form of vanilla pods remains a workable option (on average 1 tsp of extract = 2.5 cm of vanilla pod with seeds). Vanilla sugar will not be an equivalent substitute, but in the absence of anything else, you can use it (1 tsp extract = 10-15 g of sugar). We recommend discarding vanillin immediately - its strong chemical taste and complexity in weighing are not compatible with the desired delicate taste balance.

p, blockquote 6,0,0,0,0 —>

Alcohol . Another “brand secret”, but it is known for sure that this is cane alcohol obtained from cane sugar. Original (classic) Kahlua contains 20% alcohol by volume (21.5% for the US state of Ohio). Until 2004, the strength of the liqueur was 26.5% alcohol by volume. The Kahlua line also includes a stronger version of the liqueur, Kahlúa Especial, which contains 35% alcohol.

Conclusion: it is optimal to use rum with a fairly pronounced taste of cane raw materials. For moonshiners, we recommend paying attention to our recipes for rums made from molasses, which give just such a drink (look towards more refined rum with “rum oils”, the second recipe in the material).

p, blockquote 7,0,0,0,0 —>

Sugar cane plantation for Kahlua in Veracruz.

Sugar . There is a big gap here, since it was not possible to find reliable information about its addition anywhere (it is only known that caramel coloring is added to the liqueur for color). At the same time, the manufacturer’s official website states that the original Kahlua contains 44 g/100 ml of sugar. They usually write that corn syrup is added to it, but this is not accurate (although it looks like the truth).

What types of liqueurs are there?

Liqueur is a drink infused with alcohol and herbs, fruits, berries and other ingredients. The basis of the drink can be not only pure alcohol, but also ready-made alcohol: whiskey, rum, cognac and others. Unlike other alcoholic drinks, liqueur almost always contains a large amount of sugar, but there are options that are not at all sweet, but rather tart, which will be more to the taste of men.

Based on strength, drinks are divided into the following categories:

Strong (38-50% alcohol) - most often used for making cocktails; in their pure form they are consumed in small quantities with the addition of ice.
Medium strength (25-35%) - they are also called dessert liqueurs, since mainly fruit liqueurs are made with this percentage of strength, which add a piquant taste and aroma to baked goods and confectionery. They are also added to hot and cold drinks and cocktails. They are distinguished by a large amount of sugar.
Light (15-25%) - cream and butter liqueurs usually have this strength. These are drinks based on cream and eggs. They have a rather thick consistency and sweet taste. They are an ideal addition to coffee or tea.
