Elevate your home bar with this luxurious homemade Coffee Flavored Liqueur—a rich, aromatic blend of smooth vodka, bold coffee, and warm vanilla. This easy-to-make recipe transforms everyday ingredients like instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and water into a decadent drink that only gets better with time. With just 10 minutes of prep time and a simple stovetop technique, you'll create a silky liqueur that's perfect for sipping solo, enhancing desserts, or mixing into your favorite coffee cocktails. Bottle up this indulgent treat, let it age to perfection, and savor its deep, velvety flavor with every pour.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, creating a simple syrup.
Lower the heat and gently whisk in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the coffee mixture to cool to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and vodka until well combined.
Carefully pour the liqueur into clean, sterilized glass bottles or jars using a funnel if necessary.
Seal the bottles tightly and store in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks to allow the flavors to meld and develop, shaking the bottles gently every few days.
Serve the liqueur as a standalone drink, in cocktails, or as a dessert topping. Enjoy!
