How to Make Killer Kahlua
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 cup of instant coffee granules until fully dissolved. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and bring the mixture back to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature before adding any alcohol. This prevents the alcohol from evaporating.
- Once cooled, gently stir in 2 cups of dark rum (or your preferred type).
- Carefully pour the mixture into sterilized bottles. Seal tightly with corks or airtight lids.
- Let the Killer Kahlua rest for at least 2 weeks before enjoying to allow the flavors to meld. This will result in a smoother, more complex taste.
