Conquering The Beast

UPDATE!
As of July 2014, Barnivore has declared most of the Kahlua lineup Vegan Friendly! 
See the details here...

But you can still make your own if you like.  :)

Bone char...you are a sinister beast.

I cruised over to Barnivore.com last week to look up the veganosity of a liqueur and BAM! right there on the front page loomed the shocking words...

Kahlua ... Not Vegan Friendly

All of their products are now considered NVF, including Kahlua Hazelnut, Kahlua Mocha, Kahlua Vanilla and so on.
The company stated in November 2012 that the sugars they used were not bone-char processed, but an update check by Barnivore in August 2013 confirmed that Kahlua's sugar supplier uses "natural charcoal which may contain bone char".

Kahlua Company...have you gone off the deep end? Are you really willing to alienate legions of liqueur-loving vegans?

Well go ahead, cuz as it turns out, we don't need you. What we can't find, we make. Our way...

    1. According to Barnivore, Koval Organic Coffee Liqueur, Galliano Ristretto and Tia Maria coffee liqueurs are vegan-friendly.
      Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Pernod Absinthe, Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira and Frangelico are all vegan-friendly if that helps. :)
