This easy and simple recipe makes three bottles of a favorite coffee-flavored liqueur! It tastes wonderful, too. The longer it's stored, the smoother the taste.

Great! Hard to believe it's homemade! The change I made was I used brown sugar as the molasses gives it a thicker texture and a nice taste. I also used vodka because I had no rum on hand and just to be safe I used 1 cup coffee granules to make sure that the taste of coffee will be noticed. Perfect! Will make again!!! Read More

Don't know if you ever got an answer to your question...this will keep for years (but it's so good it won't last that long) and it doesn't have to be kept refrigerated. I've been making coffee liqueur for about 35 years; I use 4 cups of triple-strength brewed coffee and 4 cups of sugar. I also use decaf coffee sometimes. Read More

I used tequila instead of rum. The first batch was a little too sweet for my tastes but everyone else loved it. The second batch I only used 2 1/2 cups of sugar and it turned out perfect. Read More

I brew vanilla coffee, add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and use only rum. I have made this for 3 consecutive years and give it as gifts at Christmas. Everyone loves it and asks for more. One last tip...I start putting it together around Thanksgiving. By gift giving time...it is really good! Joyce Ann, New Jersey Read More
