How to Make Kahlua Coffee Liqueur
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup water.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. This prevents alcohol evaporation in the next step.
- Once cooled, add 1 cup vodka to the coffee mixture.
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove any coffee grounds.
- Seal the bottle and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits (up to several months), the smoother and more complex the flavor will become.
- Serve chilled over ice, garnished with your favorite additions such as whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a coffee bean.
