Vodka is flavored with coffee and vanilla, then sweetened with brown sugar. Excellent for sipping, and makes a nice gift!

Excellent recipe! I doubled the recipe and was a bit short on brown sugar so had to use a cup of white sugar which may have made it slightly sweeter than actual Kahlua but still good! I also used an extra 1/2 cup of ground coffee because I like a strong coffee flavor. Makes a very tasty White Russian and makes great gifts! My friends were very impressed and it saved me money on Christmas shopping especially since I got a decent bottle of vodka on sale! Read More

Meh. I'll save the time and effort and just go buy Starbucks Coffee Liqueur. I know for a fact it will taste great and won't have to worry about messing it up. Thanks! Read More

I tried several coffee liqueur recipes on the internet and this is definitely the best. The difference is the brown sugar...makes the end result very thick and syrupy. I don't even like commercial Kahlua but I can drink this straight. Try rum or brandy instead of the vodka. Enjoy! Read More

Fabulous I used brewed espresso because I like a a more robust coffee flavour...in fact I have Cuban coffee beans and just brewed the coffee with the sugar in the Cuban style and then went from there. I'd guess this would be great with a little less sugar and rum....next time! Read More

This Kahlua is great! I enjoy it as white russian but with skim milk instead of cream to cut down on calories and fat. It's really easy to make and I definetly recommend it! Read More
