Just in time for International Coffee Day, this new coffee liqueur is said to introduce a bold yet refreshing, sweet and citrus taste that promises to take [at-home cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-mate-cocktail-mate-mixers) to the next level. Knowing that consumers are interested in light coffee drinks, Kahlúa developed a Blonde Roast Style made with medium roast coffee that has hints of caramel, toffee and citrus flavors. When it comes to enjoying this light-tasting new coffee liqueur, Kahlúa says: "Simply mix with tonic or coconut water, no coffee mixer needed."
