Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Infuse Vodka

    In a large glass jar, combine vodka with the citrus zest, fresh herbs, and split vanilla bean. Seal tightly and let infuse for at least 3 days, shaking gently once a day.

  3. 3

    Strain Mixture

    After the infusion period, strain the vodka mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove solids, returning the liquid to the jar.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the prepared simple syrup and water to the infused vodka, mixing well to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Coffee Flavor

    If desired, add coffee beans to the liqueur for additional flavor. Seal the jar again and let sit for another 24-48 hours before using.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 6

    Chill and Serve
