So easy. [Screenshot from AllRecipes.com]

Kahlua cocktails don’t really come any simpler than this one. Brew your go-to coffee (about 8 ounces will do), and add a Kahlua shot to it. Since the Kahlua liqueur is pretty sweet already, you probably won’t need sugar. Add milk or cream if that’s how you roll.

6) Brave Bull

Things can't get easier than this! [Screenshot from Kahlua.com]
