Nutrition values are calculated estimates for the listed ingredients, preparation, and serving size. Ingredient brands, substitutions, preparation, and serving size can change the result.
Not reliably estimated: Fiber — Kahlúa Original, 16% alcohol by volume; 245 kcal, 39.3 g carbohydrate/total sugar, and 12.6 g alcohol per 100 mL does not report fiber. Added sugar — Kahlúa Original, 16% alcohol by volume; 245 kcal, 39.3 g carbohydrate/total sugar, and 12.6 g alcohol per 100 mL does not report added sugar. Other displayed values remain estimates from their cited records.
Calculation assumptions Estimated with 40% ABV vodka and Kahlúa Original at 16% ABV. Other coffee-liqueur brands vary in sugar and alcohol strength.
Serving basis: The calculated batch is divided into 1 equal serving.
Caffeine note: Uses 1 fluid ounce espresso, but caffeine varies by bean and extraction. Check the café or coffee product data for a defensible value.
Estimated alcohol: about 1.2 U.S. standard drinks. Approximately 117 calories come from ethanol at 7 kcal per gram.
Method: Nutrition is estimated from listed mass quantities or the stated label-volume basis, preparation, and cited composition data. A label-volume equivalent is not a measured gram weight. Actual values vary by brand, produce size, preparation method, and serving yield.
Quality check: database or declared-label energy is checked against macro-derived energy. Variances above 8% are blocked for review unless a documented food-specific or rounding explanation has been approved.

Recipe quantity is converted to grams with the declared profile measure; this remains an approximation where product density or brand varies. Preparation model: garnish not consumed; retained mass fraction 1. Sugar check Simple syrup contributes about 4.5g* known added sugar. Coffee liqueur contributes total sugar, but its reference does not report added sugar separately, so a complete added-sugar total is unavailable.
