Limited Edition, Kahlua Coffee Cream

Oh my. This is definitely not the Kahlúa you might be used to. This is delightful, eye-rollingly yummy and goes down so very very smoothly.
I love my coffee, and will drink it at almost any time during the day. Nothing suits aromatic, freshly brewed coffee like fresh cream. As a nod to the art of java and to whet the appetites of coffee connoisseurs, comes Kahlúa Coffee Cream. This
limited-edition premium coffee liqueur combines Kahlúa, which is made from handpicked Arabica coffee beans, along with fresh, natural cream; a simple yet bold way to add a little indulgence to the coffee-drinking experience.
You can, of course, drink your Kahlúa Coffee Cream in your coffee, served neat or on the rocks, but also in cocktails. Cocktail recipes by New York City-based mixologist Julio De Los Santos:
Kahlúa Cognaccino
1 part Kahlúa Coffee Cream
1/2 part Amaretto
1 part Martell V.S. Cognac
Combine all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a flute dusted with nutmeg.
Kahlúa Mexicano
1 part Kahlúa Coffee Cream
1 part Kahlúa Coffee Liqueur
1/2 part Sambuca
Combine all ingredients into cocktail shaker. Serve over ice in a coffee mug.

Show off your spirit of choice!

“What’ll it be?” - the question every bartender the world over asks when patrons
saunter up to their bar. Show your drink preference with one of Buji Bijoux’s Gatsby Tag necklaces and never end up with the wrong drink again.
“Gatsby Tags,” Buji Bijoux designer May Chen took a quick turn to retool early 1900s liquor tags into brassy necklace charms. Retail prices run from $206 to $313 and are available in some of the trendiest shops, stops, and boutiques around North America.
A resident of New York by way of New England, the Midwest, and the Far East, “Buji”—”chubby girl” in Japanese—was May Chen’s affectionate nickname as a toddler in Taiwan. It stuck long after May lost her apple cheeks, a testament to her enduring spunk.
Buji Bijoux is where East meets West, playfulness meets sophistication, and nature meets city chic. These unique juxtapositions lead to creations of palpable beauty.
