Behind the Bar: Coffee Liqueur

A homemade version of the ever-popular Kahlúa, this coffee liqueur can be used for White Russians, the traditional vodka, coffee liqueur and cream cocktail, or simply served over ice. Traditionally served cold, this mixture can be heated and served warm on cold winter nights. It is also a nice addition to your morning coffee during a lazy weekend.

 

3 cups white rum

1 1/4 cup dark rum

1 1/2 cup sugar

3/4 pound whole coffee beans

1 vanilla bean

1 cinnamon stick

Combine all ingredients. Let mixture sit for two to three weeks in a dark place. Shake or stir each day. Strain mixture through cheesecloth.
