Liquor Kahlua

 Liquors

I bought 1litre of Russian vodka 37.5% proof from Kilbirnie Offie for 50$

I wouldn't mind making a few nice liquors like Frangelica, Baily's and other nice liquors.  

Kahlua  

1 l  =55$  16%ABV

 Followed the recipe on the vid below with 2:1 of sugar: moka coffee aurora blend, 1 cup Fiji raw sugar, 1/2 cup coffee and 1 cup vodka and about 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract. 

Put into a wine bottle and tried it, quite nice. Apparently around 19% proof.  I'll chill it and try later. 

I wanted to make a small batch so I could stretch the vodka further, so use it for other things. 

So made around 500ml. equiv of 27.50$ for kahlua

Cost - 250ml of vodka =  12.50$

Cost of Sugar, coffee & vanilla extract= 4$ (say)

So total cost = 16.50$

So about 60% of branded stuff, since I haven't drunk it or bought it for ages I don't know if its similar, but tastes nice and easy to make  

 

Overall, first crack at it quite nice and easy to do. 

 Pleased with this so made another batch on Saturday 20, September, 2025, double size to match video and a bit tight getting 2 cups vodka in at end. Still nice to drink.
