Jamaica Kiss is a tropical shake cocktail that blends coffee liqueur and Jamaican light rum with milk and ice until smooth. The coffee liqueur's roasted sweetness and the rum's tropical, grassy character create a rich, milkshake-like drink that is both indulgent and refreshing. It is served in a hurricane glass for a full tiki presentation.
History & Origins
Jamaica Kiss draws on two quintessential Jamaican exports — rum and coffee — to create a blended cocktail in the Tiki tradition popularized by American bar culture from the 1950s onward. Coffee liqueur in this style often references Tia Maria, which was created in Jamaica in the 1940s using local coffee. The exact origin of this specific blended combination is disputed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Rich coffee liqueur, tropical rum, and a creamy milk sweetness. Palate: Smooth and creamy, with coffee's roasted bitterness balanced by the rum's fruity-tropical character and the milk's dairy richness creating a thick, shake-like texture. Finish: Long and sweet, with coffee and rum warmth persisting.
Pro Tip
Blend the coffee liqueur, rum, milk, and ice until completely smooth for a thick shake texture; serve immediately before the ice melts and dilutes.
