Brew up unforgettable and delicious cocktails in celebration of International Coffee Day or just any day, with mixed drinks that showcase java infused rum from Koloa Rum.
Born out of a collaboration between the Kaua?i Coffee Company and Koloa Rum Company, Koloa Coffee is made from pure cane sugar, distilled in an impressive vintage 1,210 gallon, steam-powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Wai?ale?ale. This intensely rich, coffee-flavored rum is slightly lower in ABV, which facilitates the amazingly complex flavors achieved. The initial sip is a highly robust espresso coffee balanced with white cane sugar and provides the ideal foundation for coffee based cocktails.
Embrace the cooler fall weather with a S’mores Coffee Russian. The flavors of chocolate, marshmallow and coffee marry perfectly in this campfire-inspired beverage you’ll want to drink all season long.
Prefer your cocktails on the bolder side? Then the Coffee Negroni is a must try. This recipe builds on the popular Italian cocktail, but incorporates coffee for a fresh take on a classic.
