Brandy is only a relatively recent addition in the liquor list of Mexico but has quickly beome one of that country's most often consumed spirits.
To make Kahlua, one of the strongest of the coffee liquers, coffee beans, cocoa beans and vanilla are added. The result is a liquer that has the taste of both coffee and chocolate coming through.
It is such a bold flavour that Kahlua is used rather sparingly in cocktails - too much and it can spoil an otherwise intriguing cocktail.
