Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Make simple syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Warm over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare the coffee base

    If using cocoa powder, whisk it into the cooled strong coffee until fully dissolved and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine liquids

    In a clean bottle or jar, combine the cooled coffee (with cocoa, if using) and the simple syrup. Stir or shake gently to mix.

  4. 4

    Add spirits and vanilla

    Stir in the vodka and vanilla extract. Seal the container and shake gently to ensure thorough mixing.

  5. 5

    Age and store

    Let the mixture mellow for at least 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, shaking the bottle every few days. After aging, refrigerate and serve chilled or over ice.
