Kahlua Rickey
Description
Kahlua Rickey is a refreshing long cocktail based on Mexican coffee liqueur 'Kahlua', finished with lime and soda water. An adaptation of the Rickey style born in America in 1883 using Kahlua, it features an exquisite balance of coffee's deep richness and bitterness combined with lime's acidity and the refreshing sensation of carbonation. The charm of allowing drinkers to adjust the taste by muddling lime with a stirrer makes it perfect for hot weather or post-meal refreshment.
