The Easiest Homemade Kahlua | Coffee Liquor

Do you want a drink and don't want to brew a coffee? Use coffee liquor! This Kahlua recipe is the easiest with four ingredients you already have and the best tasting - I make it in large batches ❤️

Coffee spirits are super versatile, sweet with coffee flavor. You can use it just like you would a shot of espresso by mixing any flavor syrup you want, adding cream, and if you throw in some vodka then you have a quick White Russian. That's usually my go-to.

Easy Homemade Kahlua

This recipe uses a pot of brewed coffee and will make over a handle's worth of liquor. You can easily half it or you can use water and instant coffee if that's what you prefer. You can use any flavor of coffee you'd like as well, just keep future drinks in mind. I do actually like using flavored coffee and usually use something that pairs well with most of my favorite flavors like Highlander Grog ☕️

Mix coffee and brown sugar together in a medium-sized pot over high heat, bring to a boil and ensure all sugar is dissolved.

I love making drinks in these glasses:

I usually reuse a vodka handle, or you can store your homemade Kahlua in this super cute milk jug:

And that's it!
