Tomorrow, Feb. 27, is National Kahlua Day! This rich and creamy liqueur is a popular favorite and an easy drink to celebrate. A coffee-flavored, rum-based liqueur from Mexico, Kahlua can be found in glasses worldwide. Kahlua was first produced by Pedro Domecq in 1936, and its name means “House of the Acolhua people.” One of the best things about this coffee liqueur is how many different ways you can enjoy its sweet sips.
