For an enhanced flavor profile, consider using a dark roast instant coffee. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. The liqueur's flavor will continue to develop over time. Allow at least one week for optimal flavor before serving. For a smoother mouthfeel, consider using a coffee extract instead of instant coffee powder. Consider adding spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the simmering process for a unique flavor.

01
StepIn a 2-quart saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, filtered water, instant coffee powder, and vanilla extract. (2 minutes)
02
StepBring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (7 minutes)
03
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and allow the coffee mixture to cool completely. This may take several hours, so be patient! (120 minutes)
04
StepOnce cooled, carefully skim off any scum or residue that has formed on the surface. This will ensure a smooth and clear liqueur.
05
StepAdd the vodka to the cooled coffee mixture and stir gently to combine. (1 minute)
06
StepCarefully pour the coffee liqueur into sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it sits, the smoother and more complex it will become. (10 minutes)

Apr 30, 2025I found that using freshly ground coffee instead of instant added a richer flavor. It required a bit more filtering, but it was worth it.
