In terms of coffee liqueurs, Kahlua liqueur is almost the polar opposite of Borghetti Caffe Sport espresso liqueur (which we've reviewed quite favorably).  Whereas Borghetti is a mostly bitter, intense coffee liqueur, Kahlua has a brief bitter note and thereafter is sweet, almost sickly sweet.  While Zelduh occasionally can drink Kahlua straight up with and ice cube, I cannot- it's too saccharin.

However, that does not mean that I've no use for Kahlua.  Kahlua goes nicely with a couple ounces of milk or cream (Kahlua & Cream), or, you can spike your Kahlua & Cream with a shot of vodka and a wee bit more milk to make a White Russian.  Both of these drinks taste like chocolate milk- a strange thing to experience when you are getting hosed.
