1ouncecoffee liqueur (Kahlua or Tia Maria)**see notes for options
Instructions
Add ice into a drinking glass of choice.
Pour Vodka, Kahlua, and coconut milk over ice. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
Adjust the Kahlua to your sweetness preference. The sweetness level between different versions may vary widely. I use a homemade Kahlua made by our wonderful family friends!
Coconut milk notes: Mix your can of coconut milk extremely well before pouring into your cocktail. If it is not mixed well, it will appear chunky and grainy. I like to blend mine in a blender first.
Coconut milk brand recommendation: I prefer making this cocktail with the Whole Foods 365 Brand Coconut Milk. I don't recommend the Thai Kitchen brand or the Chaokoh brand - both have an aftertaste and Thai Kitchen is quite watery.
Coconut milk substitutions: Try light coconut milk, cashew milk, oat milk, or almond milk. Use unsweetened plant milk for best results. These milks are lighter and will make a less creamy cocktail.
Note on Kahlua: The store-bought brand Kahlua is not technically vegan because it uses a non-vegan process in refining sugar. If this does not bother you, the classic version is otherwise vegan and does not contain milk. Or, use Tia Maria (certified vegan coffee liqueur) or make your own homemade vegan Kahlua.
