Coffee-Vodka
🥃 Serve in: Collins Glass
A second take on homemade coffee-vodka, this one adding caramel coloring for a deeper, more Kahlua-like look without necessarily changing much about the flavor underneath. Like its sibling recipe, it's built to be a base for other cocktails as much as something to drink straight -- a fun kitchen project for anyone who wants full control over their own coffee liqueur.
Ingredients
- Water2 cups
- Sugar2 cups white
- Coffee0.5 cup instant
- Vanilla1/2
- Vodka1.5 cup
- Caramel Coloring
Instructions
Boil water and sugar until dissolved. Turn off heat. Slowly add dry instant coffee and continue stirring. Add a chopped vanilla bean to the vodka, then combine the cooled sugar syrup and coffee solution with the vodka. Cover tightly and shake vigorously each day for 3 weeks. Strain and filter. Its also best to let the sugar mixture cool completely so the vodka won't evaporate when its added. If you like a smoother feel to the liqueur you can add about 1 teaspoon of glycerine to the finished product.
