How to Make Coffee Flavored Liqueur

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups of water.
  2. Stir over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
  3. Continue to simmer gently for 30 minutes, without stirring, until slightly thickened.
  4. In a large bowl or pitcher, dissolve 1/2 cup instant coffee granules in 1/4 cup boiling water. Ensure coffee is fully dissolved.
  5. Stir in 1 750ml bottle of vodka and 2 tablespoons of glycerin.
  6. Carefully strain the prepared vanilla syrup into the coffee-vodka mixture, ensuring no sugar crystals remain in the saucepan.
  7. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into sterilized bottles or jars, leaving a small space at the top.
  9. Securely seal the bottles with airtight caps or corks.
  10. Let the liqueur age in a cool, dark place for at least 30 days to allow the flavors to fully meld. The longer it ages, the smoother it will become!
