Beginning October 1, each person who visits http://www.facebook.com/kahlua and clicks the "Share the Warmth" button will trigger a $1 donation from Kahlua to One Warm Coat, with a maximum goal of up to $100,000. Funds will be used by One Warm Coat to help support their efforts in the promotion of local coat drives and in giving back to communities across the country. Other ways to trigger a donation include: clicking a button on the Kahlua Facebook page to "toast friends" and invite them to participate in the "Share the Warmth" initiative while getting access to delicious Kahlua cocktail recipes; or scanning a QR code on point of sale materials at retailers where Kahlua is sold, which will also drive to Facebook.
"The holiday season is a time to enjoy warmth and spark meaningful connections," said Anna Battiloro, Senior Brand Manager, Kahlua. "Every person who clicks the 'Share the Warmth' button helps Kahlua support One Warm Coat and give back to local communities."
Also heralding the holiday season is the newly-released Kahlua(®) Gingerbread. The latest entry to Kahlua's limited-edition holiday line, Kahlua Gingerbread joins Kahlua(®) Peppermint Mocha in making the season an indulgent gift for the senses.
Kahlua Gingerbread features notes of gingerbread, nutmeg and subtle cinnamon and clove, blended with the classic taste of 100% Arabica coffee and sugarcane rum.
The returning limited-edition Kahlua Peppermint Mocha boasts a luxurious blend of cool peppermint and dark chocolate that complements the rich flavors of Kahlua. The holiday offerings are available nationwide while supplies last at a suggested retail price of $17.99.
Kahlua Gingerbread and Kahlua Peppermint Mocha can both be served on the rocks or for a more festive experience try these holiday-inspired cocktails:
