Kahlua is a simple coffee liqueur and it’s easy to make at home. Pour yourself a glass of homemade coffee liqueur tonight. It’ll be ready in an hour. I’ll tell you how!
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: numerous
Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutesIngredients
3 cups sugar
3 cups brewed coffee
3 cups vodka
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
In a medium-sized pot, simmer sugar and coffee until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 10-15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool. Add vodka and vanilla extract; stir well. Using a funnel or a dipper with a pour spout, transfer mixture into clean containers. Refrigerate to store. And that’s it! You’re done!
Make a Quick White Russian: Two parts kahlua to one part milk, pour over chipped ice. You can put some whipped cream on top if you like. (I like!)
Make a Frozen Mudslide: Using about 2/3 cup kahlua, add a couple ounces Bailey’s Irish Cream and an extra dash of vodka. Now plop a scoop of vanilla ice cream into your glass and squeeze a dollop of chocolate syrup on top! (Could also put this combination in the blender.)

I made this fantastic recipe last month. The only thing I did differently was double the recipe and used 3 cups of house blend Coffee and then 3 cups of Millstone Chocolate Velvet Coffee. So good and I made enough to gift! Love it! Thanks for the great recipe Suzanne 😛

Hi Angelina – I put this first under “reviews” sorry. But did want to ask did you freeze until ready to give as gifts?
Nice idea, thanks

This is fabulous! I added a few TBSP of molasses and used brown sugar, since real Kahlua is apparently made from sugarcane (and rum?).
Thanks for the idea!
