Liqueur Making Recipes

Kahlua® Style

  • 6 cups sugar
  • 6 cups water
  • 20 tsp instant coffee
  • 1/2 gallon vodka
  • 12 tsp pure vanilla

Mix sugar, water, coffee together and bring to slow boil. Turn heat down and simmer 1 hour. Remove heat, cover liquid with plastic wrap. Let sit for 12 hours, then remove wrap (it will pick up film from the top). Add vodka and vanilla, stir well. Bottle in dark bottles.

Notes:, Yield 3 quarts. Drinkable immediately, but turns bitter with time. You can make a half batch if desired.
