Jamaica Kiss
A creamy and frosty frozen cocktail that combines the rich, distinct flavor of coffee liqueur with smooth Jamaican light rum and milk. Blended to perfection, it serves as a delightful dessert drink or a cooling summer treat similar to an alcoholic milkshake.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by roasted coffee and light molasses. On the palate, the texture is thick and frosty, with the creamy milk softening the punch of the rum. The finish is cold and sweet with a brief linger of coffee bean bitterness.
