anyone else think kahlua is gross?
I've moved into a new apartment (no roomates, woohoo!) and my rich aunt gave me a left over (cheap) espresso machine for free. .. When I stocked my fridge to be prepared to play bartender, I bought a bottle of Vanilla Stoli and a bottle of Kahlua. I'm a relatively new drinker - I've never dried Kahlua before. I figured I'd try to make a few mixed drinks.
I tried a black russian - 1 shot stoli and half a shot kahlua. It was gross. I added coke and it got a lot better. I tried another one without the kahlua and it was even better ; ) .. Coke + Vanilla Stoli = the real vanilla coke.
I tried making some drinks with kahlua and espresso too, and I didn't like anything that I made.. kahlua seems to have this gross bitter taste to it. It's fine when the liquid is in the front of my mouth, but when it hits the tastebuds in the back... eeccckkk. Am I doing something wrong or am I just an uncultured swine? Would it get better if I added some half and half? (I don't have this yet, I just moved in.. I'm so embarassed.)
My apologies if this isn't on topic in the cooking forum, but it seemed like the best fit.
