Kahlúa is a Mexican coffee liqueur made by blending rum with arabica coffee grown in Veracruz, Mexico, for a sweet, creamy-bodied liqueur used in cocktails like the White Russian and Espresso Martini.

Does Kahlúa have caffeine?

Yes — because it's made with real coffee, Kahlúa does contain a small amount of caffeine, though far less than a cup of brewed coffee.

Does Kahlúa have dairy?

No — Kahlúa itself contains no dairy; it's a rum-and-coffee liqueur, though it's frequently mixed with cream or milk in drinks like the White Russian.

Is Kahlúa the same as Baileys?

No — Kahlúa is a rum-based coffee liqueur with no dairy, while Baileys is an Irish whiskey-based cream liqueur made with real dairy cream; they're often compared but have distinctly different bases and flavor profiles.
