No, Mr Black and Kahlúa are not the same. Mr Black is a coffee liqueur handcrafted in Australia, made from a blend of Arabica cold-brew coffee and Australian wheat vodka. Kahlúa is a Mexican coffee liqueur made from arabica beans, sugar syrup, and a rum base.
While both are coffee-based liqueurs, their flavor profiles and production processes are quite different. Mr Black is made with a unique cold-brew method that combines high-quality Arabica coffee beans with spring water and a hint of cane sugar.
This process produces a full-bodied liqueur that is smooth and intense with a bittersweet taste. In contrast, Kahlúa is made with medium-roast Arabica beans that are brewed in boiling water and infused with rum and a blend of other natural flavors for a sweeter flavor profile.
From the production methods to the flavor profiles, Mr Black and Kahlúa are unmistakably different liqueurs that provide unique flavor experiences.

Does coffee cream liqueur have caffeine?
Coffee cream liqueur typically does contain caffeine since it is made with coffee flavorings and syrups. However, the amount of caffeine can vary depending on the brand. Some liqueurs contain more caffeine than others.
For example, some cream liqueurs contain up to 35mg of caffeine per 1.5-ounce serving, while others contain less than 5mg per serving. Some brands may list the amount of caffeine on the label, or you can contact the company to inquire about the amount.
