Interestingly, my physician tested Starbucks brewed espresso/coffee because his wife was getting headaches after drinking. He found a pretty high level of benzine in coffee! May be they use benzine to bring out the natural oil during roasting because of the inferior beans? I wouldn't be surprised benzine is also found in the Starbuck's Liquour. I think I will try the recipe with Kahlua and I am definitely not drinking anymore Starbuck's. You say you detect a benzine taste?

I tried a google search and got nowhere. I respectfully request a Smith and Kern is added to the cocktail recipe queue please. I'm all cutious now. *perk*  What’s a Smith and Kern?

Lucky you! There are lots of other options for Kahlua - many being sweeter dessert type drinks like the White or Black Russians or the Smith and Kerns. (Now that is a blast from my past!) Even just a bit in coffee topped with whip cream is a great little treat. <br /> <br /> Hi Christina!<br /> If you have a chance to try the Brie,let me know what you think! <br /> <br /> ~ B Hello Luminous!

I love coffee-flavored drinks, and my roommate's mother gave us a bottle of homemade kahlua for the holidays, so I've been looking for recipes to use it in. Thank you. I’m going to have to try these.

I tried it recently (though, granted, while in an airplane) and hated it. The taste reminded me of coffee decaffeinated with benzine.<br /> <br /> Using vanil vodka is inspired though. The maple brie and apple recipe sounds smart and delicious too. Do you really find the Starbuck’s liquor richer than Kahlua? I tried it recently (though, granted, while in an airplane) and hated it.
