Ingredients for 16 Oz Coffee Liqueur

  • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
  • Cold Water
  • Strong Coffee
  • 4 oz vodka
  • Brown Sugar
  • 2 oz granulated sugar
  • Dark Molasses

How to Make 16 Oz Coffee Liqueur

  1. Place 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, into your coffee carafe.
  2. Brew 16 oz of strong dark roast coffee. Allow to cool completely.
  3. Pour the cooled coffee back into the coffee maker and re-brew through the same grounds for a more concentrated flavor.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the double-brewed coffee, 4 oz vodka, 2 oz granulated sugar, and 1 oz molasses. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Pour the mixture into a clean, airtight bottle.
  6. Let the liqueur sit in a cool, dark place for two days, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. After two days, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional, for a smoother texture).
  8. Clean your coffee pot thoroughly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
