Coffee-Vodka
4 shared ingredients · also Vodka
🥃 Serve in: Collins Glass
This is the DIY route to something like Kahlua: brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and sugar steeped patiently into a vodka base until it turns into a genuine homemade liqueur. It takes longer than buying a bottle, but the payoff is a fresher, less syrupy result you can tune to your own sweetness and coffee intensity. A project more than a drink -- though it works fine sipped on its own too.
Combine coffee, sugar and water. Simmer 1 hour and let cool. Add vanilla and vodka. Age in sealed jar 2 to 3 weeks.
