description Kahlúa Sour Overview

A Kahlúa Sour is a coffee-liqueur variation on the sour family of cocktails, using Kahlúa as its principal sweet and alcoholic component. Recipes generally balance the liqueur with lemon or lime juice, and some include egg white or an alternative foaming agent to produce a smoother texture and foamy head. The drink combines roasted coffee and vanilla-like flavors with citrus acidity, making it suitable for drinkers who prefer a sweet but tart coffee cocktail.
