???? DIY Coffee Liqueur - like Kahlua, but better
When we started this process of figuring out how to make Kahlua coffee liqueur at home, we found most of the recipes were too sweet, and lacked complexity of flavour. They all had only one note - and it was weak coffee flavoured vodka. It just didn't work for us.
So we started our DIY Coffee Liqueur with fresh dark roasted coffee beans that we gently smashed in a mortar and pestle. We then added ½ a vanilla bean, and bathed this in 151º over proof rum. You really want to layer flavour over flavour, and the higher alcohol helps dissolve more of the oils in the coffee - it also keeps the final product from being to cloyingly sweet when you dilute it later with simple syrup. Rounding out the complex flavour profile is a cinnamon stick, some orange peel, and crushed cocoa nibs. The Dude would be proud!
Our full cocktail playlist:
Ingredients:
2 cups (500 mL) 151º overproof rum (75.5% alc)
1 cup (250 mL) dark roast ground coffee (we just smash in a mortar and pestle)
1/2 vanilla bean
½ cinnamon stick
2- 3 cocoa nibs, optional
1 slice of orange peel, optional
simple syrup
This goes great in our Black Russian Cocktail:
This goes great in our Coffee Chocolate Brown Butter Brownies:
Method:
Slice the vanilla bean it open lengthwise and then scrape out the inside of the bean.
Place the bean, scrapings, course ground coffee and rum to a sealable Mason jar.
Give it a shake and set it aside someplace dark.
After 24 open the jar and toss in the cinnamon stick, cracked cocoa nibs, and orange peel.
Give it a shake and set aside for another day.
Strain the mixture through a coffee filter, and mix in the simple syrup… Now this is another place where your personal taste will come into play.
We like ours on the less sweet side so we start by mixing 1 part simple syrup to 3 parts coffee infusion; then we taste and start adjusting from there.
Ideally you want to end up with about 40% alc by volume.

INGREDIENTS
• 2 thinly sliced orange peels
• 1 vanilla bean, or 15 ml (0.5 oz) vanilla extract
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 120 ml (4 oz) hot espresso (or strong coffee)
• 175 g (2 cups) whole bean coffee (roughly ground)
• 75 g (½ cup) cocoa nibs
• 750 ml (3 cups) rum or vodka (100 proof or higher preferred)
• 240 ml (1 cup) simple syrup ( or keto simple syrup (
*For a sweeter liqueur, increase the simple syrup to 360 ml (1.5 cups)
DIRECTIONS
1. Add orange peels, vanilla, and cinnamon stick to a resealable glass jar.
2. Pour hot espresso into the jar to release the oil from the orange and infuse the flavors. Mix and set aside.
3. Roughly grind the coffee beans in a molcajete or a food processor (use only a few pulses). A coffee grinder can also be used, but make sure the grind is rough...you are not making coffee.
4. Add the roughly ground coffee beans, cocoa nibs, and rum (or vodka) to the jar with the orange, cinnamon, and vanilla mixture. Stir and seal jar.
5. Store jar in a cool, dark location such as a cupboard for five to fourteen days. Shake daily. Although the mixture will be ready after five days, let it steep for the full fourteen days if you want a more intense coffee flavor.
6. After steeping the desired amount of days, strain the liquid into a pitcher. Use a coffee filter when straining to reduce sediment.
7. Add the simple syrup and stir to blend.
8. Pour the liqueur into a swing top glass bottle or any resealable container.

Homemade Coffee Liqueur Recipe | #JugaadBar
If you like Kahlua, you’re going to love this easy recipe for making coffee liqueur at home. All you need are a few simple ingredients and about ten minutes of your time.
We’ve used white rum as the base liquor because rum is what goes into Kahlua, but you could always substitute it with the liquor of your choice. Vodka, dark rum or brandy - all work equally well.
Feel free to play around with the other ingredients as well. Like your coffee strong? Add more coffee. Or less. Want it sweeter? Add more sugar. Or less. No vanilla essence? No worries. Unleash you inner mixologist, experiment, and what you’ll end up with is a coffee liqueur that’s just perfect for you.
