Refreshing Strong

Iced Coffee Fillip is a minimalist boozy iced coffee made by stirring Kahlúa into a cup of strong cold coffee, then chilling before serving. The Kahlúa amplifies the coffee's roasted character while adding a rum-based sweetness and vanilla depth. It is one of the simplest coffee cocktails and requires no special equipment.

History & Origins

The word 'fillip' means a small addition that enlivens something, perfectly describing the role of Kahlúa in this drink. Coffee-and-liqueur combinations have been a staple of café culture since at least the mid-20th century, with Kahlúa, introduced in Mexico in 1936, becoming the default coffee liqueur in American homes. The exact origin of this particular recipe is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Strong roasted coffee with Kahlúa's sweet rum-vanilla undertone. Palate: Bold and bitter from the cold brew coffee, with Kahlúa adding a sweet, coffee-liqueur richness and a smooth rum depth. Finish: Long, bittersweet coffee finish with a warm Kahlúa sweetness on the tail.

Pro Tip

Use very strong cold-brew or espresso-strength coffee chilled overnight for the most intense, balanced flavor.
