- Holiday Food Gifts are a wonderful way to show people you care! Today we are making (and tasting) three variations on Homemade Coffee Liqueur. You may be familiar with Kahlua, or even Mr. Black, but this home version is easy, delicious, and makes the perfect holiday hostess gifts!
This recipes gives you DIY coffee liqueur fast and easy- no waiting for anything to steep or soak. It also uses REAL coffee. You can make Coffee Liqueur with any spirit you choose- Vodka, Rum and Bourbon are all in my line-up. But keep in mind that the spirit will affect the flavor of the coffee liqueur.
Kahlua is very VERY easy to make. The brand "Kahlua" uses white rum. Many people use vodka in Kahlua, and I personally love Bourbon in Kahlua. If you want something that's more along the lines of Mr. Black, I suggest using Vodka as your base spirit, and espresso for your coffee syrup.
Homemade Coffee Liqueur Recipe:
2 cups sugar
1 cup coffee
2 cups spirit
1 tbs pure vanilla extract
32oz Swing Top Bottles: amzn.to/48ddcrZ
Pyrex Liquid Measuring Cups: amzn.to/4ah46MH

I love the laid back "i don't give a f*ck" energy of the channel!
I feel seen 🥰😂
😂😭🤣😂😭😭🤣😂😆😆😂😭
I wouldn't bother making Kahlua that tastes exactly like Kahlua - play with it! So glad that you did the variations.
They’re just so much better… even the vodka version!
Kahlua is friggin expensive for what it is, so the fact i can go grab a bottle of vodka, make this, and still have vodka left to make White Russians with, all off one bottle, is a game changer!!!
Try extracting the freshly ground coffee with the spirit for 24h and the pass it through a coffe filter, then add the sweetener. Its less bitter, more coffetasting and the caffeine packs more of a punch
Your happiness is wonderful.
What a lovely comment! Thank you so much ☺️
my aunt's recipe uses Everclear as the alcohol base.. and needs to age for 12 weeks... better than what you can buy...
Everclear is super STRONG‼️
If anyone wants to be happy, just make this:
45ml Vodka - I would recommend Belverdere, Ciroc or Greygoose
25ml Monin Salted Caramel
20ml Coffee Liqueur
30ml Espresso - room temp - dont use it hot - it will melt too much ice. Dont use black coffee - you need espresso for the crema.
Dry shake 20s > then shake it with ice 30s > pour on martini glass or coupe glass
Once the foam is set 20-30s > place gently 3 coffee roasted beans on top
Don't need to thank me.
Using the small burner on the kitchen island just so we can see the whole process was refreshing. Very professional and well filmed 🎥 👏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! Cant wait to try your recipes.
If you keep tasting them it could become a 2023 version of the Lucille Ball sketch! All versions seemed lovely and albeit Kahlua maybe a little peeved, these all seem worth a try.
Just don’t make me say “vitavitavegimin” after tasting 😂
I always let sit for 30 days in a cool dark place so the "stuff" mergers together to get them well acquainted with each other.
You say the same thing about alcohol when I cook with. Bourbon, cause I like it. Vodka, Yes Please!, Whiskey, oh yah! "My fave coffee liquer, Mr. Black!" Your style rocks!
Great video
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you taste-test these. I could feel the heat infuse my own legs with every sip. I used to order a drink at a Mexican restaurant called a Latin Leprechaun, a shot each Kahlua, Bailey's, finished with coffee and whipped cream garnish. That was a lifetime ago. Thanks for the memories.
Great episode. I appreciate the Mr. Black shout-out, too!
My fav!!! 🙌
Last Christmas (2023) I made your homemade Bailey's which was loved by all, I think this year I'll make the rum-based homemade version of this Kahlua to go along with my home roasted coffee I make each year. Thanks for the recipe and the option of different base spirits. Keep up the great content. I would love to see a homemade gin from a vodka-based. I got a kit a few years ago from my sister and love playing amateur chemist and using different herbs and spices. I recently discovered a partial bottle that got shoved to the back and, man, a little age (1 year) does wonders for a bottled spirit sometimes!! I wouldn't know because I too, am of the right here, right now mindset.
This is the first video I've watched of yours and I LIKE you already 😂. You had me at 'we don't measure things on this channel'.
THAT'S my kind of cooking and drinks making
I've always used a good quality brandy when making my faux Kahlua but I am also a bourbon babe, so thanks for the inspiration! 🤪
Love your presentation
Need to try this too, Happy New year
yum yum yum I need to try this 👌🏽❤
My way is 2 cup dark molasses, 2 cups coffee ( here is how I make my coffee , first I use a Toddy maker a Toddy uses about a gallon of cold water poured into the Toddy maker then add one pound o
How wonderful did you feel when you finished this episode ❤😂 You have blown me away ❤❤❤
You are fabulous! I love you and your yummy recipes!
Thank you so much! 😊
This was spot on! I pulled 2 shots from my espresso machine with water to make it a cup. Glad you mentioned not to use cheap coffee 'cause I was going to use the instant coffee crystals left over from the equally impressive Baily's recipe you posted!
Wonderful! Glad you’re enjoying the recipes :) 🥃
I’m not a big fan of Kahlúa either. I’m a bourbon girl, and will definitely make the bourbon version. I’m so glad that YT put you in my sight. I subscribed and will look through your page for other wonderful recipes. Thanks! 🥰🥰🥰
Welcome! 🥃
On a similar theme. . . I used to holiday in France and many French people would end their meal with an espresso coffee but they would leave a little in the bottom of the cup, add a sugar lump and small glass of brandy., or eau de vie in rural areas. I believe that authentic eau de vie is now difficult to find. This was then stirred with a teaspoon, and sipped with great enjoyment. Not all the sugar was dissolved but this is not important, the taste is delicious and each sip gets a little sweeter. So easy to do and gives instant results for those of us lacking the patience to make coffee liqueurs by the bottle at home. It's nearly Christmas - an ideal time to give this a go.
What a lovely tradition! Thanks for sharing!
You just described what us Irish call a French coffee made as you describe or just brandy added to a mug of coffee.
In Ireland when we add whiskey we call it Irish coffee same principle.
Another after dinner trick I got from a Chilean friend.
End of ones glass of red wine at end of meal as coffee is served is tipped in to the strong black coffee.
I like merlot but any strong red works.
@@patomahony9747 'us' Irish don't call it a French coffee. French coffee is french coffee!
Eau de vie is the general term for distilled grape wine. The more regional are Brandy and Coniac. So eau de vie is probably not that hard to find.
The eau de vie that I had in mind was the old fashioned home made stuff. In the 70s and 80s there used to be portable stills that would travel around the countryside so that small-time wine makers could distil the must left over after they had made their wine. It was pretty lethal stuff mostly and the farmers had to have a licence to use the stills. There were accidents with dangerous batches of eau de vie sometimes being made and so the French government stopped issuing any new licences the and as the older farmers died out so the practice stopped, I assume.

This was a great video!!! Mr Black is def a must have!!! I bet the Bourbon version would make a great White Russian!!!! CHEERS to you!!!
YES!!! “The Dude” would most definitely abide 😂
My choice of spirit would be an Anejo Tequila. Can’t wait to try this
So, I made your recipe and substituted Mezcal as my spirit. Amazing.
Phenomenal idea! Love to hear it!
Lol I love the lady
I am going to try this with cold brew coffee.
Great experiment with the different spirits
No losers here… but I now have a LOT of kahlua to find a home for 😂
Personally I would use Ron Zacapa 23 for the Rum and Glenfiddich 15 Solara cask instead of the bourbon. Both go very well with coffee.
I'm a big fan of Mr. Black, specifically because it's high quality coffee and made less sweet; as you say, Kahlua is very sweet. I've also made an amaro using infusing the liquor with coffee, spices, and bittering agents a whip cream canister... very good but a lot of work. This seems much easier! I'd love to try this with tequila, as well, since nothing screams Mexican beverage like tequila. Like you, I also love bourbon, so expect I would love that version... I did make vanilla extract and used bourbon for that, too.
I use Kahlua to flavor coffee☕️
like your presentation
Great video. Love from India 🇮🇳
Pour a shot or 2 into your coffee.........it's a Kicker !!
I would love to see a homemade version of Screwball. So delicious but sweet enough to conjure up Wilford Brimley's spirit.
HAH! Love it. I can absolutely do a video on how to make Scewball (it’s shockingly easy). In the meantime, you can check out my videos on how to make bacon washed bourbon, and the one on Nutella Bourbon (which is more similar in process to Screwball) Both are delicious and WAY better than Screwball anyway ;)
I just found your channel 😂 love your expressions. Can't wait to make!!!
Cheers!! 🥃
Great Video... Thank you.. Loved your testing too!.. BTW Mr Black is my favorite coffee liquer, but difficult to find where i live. Looking forward to making your recipes ( all three of them!).
Tank you Pam
I'm going to give this a try. I love to make Vietnamese coffee with the metal drip cup, so I think I'll try using that, minus the condensed milk of course.
Update: I just made a batch. The Vietnamese coffee was fantastic. The brewing method makes strong tasting, but not overly bitter, coffee; perfect for the syrup.
The bourbon reaction!
Gets me every time. 🥃
I love it csnnot wait to make it, i will use burbon. By the way my name is Savi. Thank you.❤🎉
Just found your channel! I'm looking forward to trying your recipes. Question. Can you store these in the drinks cabinet, or do we need to store in the refrigerator?
I find it fascinating that you have tasted them immediately. I have a recipe for Kahlua that when I first tried it I thought it was terrible, so I put it away in the liquor cabinet and forgot about it. Then one evening I was thinking that I would pull out the bottle and give it another try and was amazed at the flavor! I tasted EXACTLY like Kahlua. Great video thumbs up.
Depending on the recipe, sometimes homemade liqueurs are undrinkable until the spirit has had time to extract flavor from the ingredients. For example- using grain alcohol (like everclear) and whole spices- tasting that right away would be a dare even I would turn down 😂 But this recipe results in an instantly drinkable concoction, and it does get even a little better after it’s rested a day :)
Is it possible that some fermentation took place as well as the flavours “ maturing “ over time. Like stew if any is left tastes better on day 2 ?????
How long did you leave it for?
@@hellfirepictures for about 6 months. Unfortunately, it's all gone now.😔 But fortunately I've made more! 😊 This last batch that I mixed is about 3 liters and shrinking...I waited over a year, and it just seems to get better with age. I was intending to give it as Christmas gifts...but somehow, I seem to have lost those folk's addresses guess I'll just have to take one for the team and consume it myself. 😵💫
How about using British golden syrup, specially Tate and Lyle syrup, instead of corn syrup. It would give you the viscosity as well as a caramel-ish flavour.
Wow you are absolutely my minda chick really all this adult beverage videos are my kinda mindset just really cool. Fun fact i live in Ohio Kahlua in Ohio is 43 proof I'm guessing other states its 40 proof back in the day it was 53 when it was 53 it was really really good but yeah nice videos.
Thank you for tuning in!! 🥃
For a nice bourbon infused coffee, I highly recommend Fire Department Coffee. They have multiple spirit-infused coffees to choose from including the option to either purchase once or via subscription.
Great to know! I’ll give them a try.
And if you just want the coffee without the booze infusion, I can't help but recommend "Blackout Coffee". They have become my go-to brand nowadays! Their snickerdoodle coffee is amazing! Their climax coffee is out of this world!@@SavidgeKitchen
You had me at “snickerdoodle”
Gonna try to ultrasonically infuse this bourbon recipe with cbd to make elixirs
Sounds awesome! Curious to hear how this goes!
I make Kailua and it should be put into brown bottles. I use ever clear 191. Need to cook syrup for 5 minutes so it doesn't crystallized. Longer it ages the better it is. All recipes i have ever read and all say to age. And put a vanilla bean into the bottle.
If you are using everclear as your base and whole vanilla bean to flavor, you absolutely need to age it. What I’m showing here is a completely different technique that yields an instantly drinkable result. However, it does get event better once it’s rested a day or two. :)
Kahlua Irish cream and whiskey
With coffee hot warm or cold
Mix drink repeat till comfortable
Soooo true and well said 😇😇😇
Have you tried Mr boston coffee brandy with halfandhalf?
It's excellent, a brilliant choice going with bourbon! Have you any recipe, regarding chocolate liqueur?
Not yet! But I can certainly work on it :)
I use a 151 rum, but a high proof alcohol in general is needed to prevent fermentation.
Drinking ASAP is my preferred method of preventing fermentation ;)
Man EVERY video I've seen using coffee liqueur mentions Mr. Black. Has me sus but I'm gonna check it out.
It’s because Mr Black is THE BEST. Truly. If you’re a coffee lover, you’ll love Mr Black!
I also love bourbon. I agree it would be wrong to leave that two ounces in the bottle. (alcohol abuse) 😄. I was told of a coffee liquor drink called a sombrero. Coffee liquor and either milk probably whole milk or something similar. You could use a Death Wish coffee or a Double Dead coffee but a word of caution, these are extremely strong. On a Saturday morning when you don't have to go to work. You'll be ready to go real fast.
How do you store these and how long do they keep their “drinkability”?
Thanks for sharing this! :) How do you make the Mr Black coffee at home?
I have not attempted that one yet, BUT, my best guess would be really high quality espresso, vodka, very little sugar (and maybe brown sugar instead of white, for the molasses), and the smallest hint of vanilla. I am a HUGE fan of Mr Black. It is hands down my favorite coffee liqueur!
Just found you today 🥰🥰🥰 watched the Amaretto video & this one, hooked & subscribed.
I am a Rum girl myself, started with white a long time ago, make Rum punch, a lot!! Then moved onto spiced, Capitan Morgan of course, also like Mount Gay & then found Kraken 🤪 My absolute fave ❤️ I like the flavoured Rums too, (I make my own now) Aldi did a chocolate orange one a few years back, now that was some gooooood shit 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 I bought a lot of them 🤫😆😆 but they don’t do it anymore 😭😭😭😭😭
My Daughter bought me a big bottle of Arabic coffee flavoured kraken for Christmas 2 years ago 🤤🤤🤤🤤 omg it was awesome, sooooo awesome I made my own version, it’s good, has a nice punch, well, it did, until I added more Rum, now it’s got one hell of a right hook on it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I tend to be a bit heavy handed when it comes to adding Rum, more isn’t always a good idea 😂😂😂😂 it needs toning down, just a little bit though 😁 Cheers 🥃
Chocolate Orange rum sounds phenomenal- gonna have to give that a try!! Welcome, and thanks for tuning in! 🥃
@@SavidgeKitchen definitely make the chocolate orange one, I did try to make it, but couldn’t get the chocolate taste right ☹️ I look forward to seeing what you can do. 😉 🥃
I made your Baileys recipe turned out fantastic. Needed 1 day in the fridge to do its thing...but wow really nice. I want to try the coffe liqueur but believe it or not I dont have coffe in the house because I don't typically drink coffee. My question is, could I buy 2 brewed black coffees from Starbucks and would you have a recommendation?
Starbucks coffee is absolutely fine for this :) I’d ask them for something that’s a rich dark roast, and just order it black- no sweetener. Cheers!!
Do you brew the coffee extra strong for this recipe? I'm sure I will try the bourbon version. Bourbon! Coffee! Two of my favorite flavors!
Yes! Just depends on how bold of a coffee flavor you like! Me personally, bolder the better :)
What the freaking frat I can make my own Kahlua,😲😲😲😲. I just ran out. Girlllllll tonight I am having a white Russian. I have a bottle of Martinique white rum screaming my name😂😂
How do you suggest storing this
Can you make RUM CHITA.
We use everclear
How do you store this?
Can a sugar alcohol be substituted for the raw sugar??? Such as monk fruit, ect..?
@Savidge Kitchen do any of your versions taste anything like Mr Black?
I would say the vodka is the closest. However, if you want to get even closer to Mr. Black, I’d used very high quality espresso, and maybe a touch less sugar. You could also try experimenting with soaking espresso grounds and filtering, but I don’t have timings for you on that one as I have not tried it personally. Hope this helps!! 🥃
Okay what do you perfer for a white russian?
Either the vodka based homemade recipe, or Mr. Black! Both are less sweet than Kahlua, but that’s just my personal preference :)
Have you tried or looked into making this with Allulose? Would it work?
I have not, but funny you ask because I had specifically addressed this and then cut it out for time 😂 That being said, I have two concerns with Allulose. 1- there are sometimes recrystallization issues with alternative sugars in general (although alluose is actually the least of the offenders here). I’m not sure if the alcohol content would prohibit the recrystallizing, so it might be worth trying out. But, 2- Allulouse in high quantities comes with some toxicity concerns. There is a LOT of sugar in this, so I would do a little more research and be cautious. Best bet might be to try using Monk Fruit and adding a little xanthan gum to keep the syrup portion from recrystallizing (but even using that, I’ve had alternative syrups eventually recrystallize). Hope this helps!!
I’m not surprised you covered it given your extensive simple syrup experiments, sorry you cut it though! Thanks for replying. I didn’t know of toxicity issues with large quantities, I will have to investigate. I haven’t had any luck with monkfruit and stopping it from recrystallizing. I love Allulose because of its flavor, it’s just like sugar and has no aftertaste like every other sweetener. I discovered Allulose after watching your syrup video haven’t looked back. I gave up all sugar and lost 45 lbs.
@@SavidgeKitchenI’m wondering if stevia can be used. The pure version without the bulking agents added so its sweetness per spoon is similar to sugar.
Hi. Just 1 question, when you said 1 cup coffee, you mean espresso or black coffee?
I use black coffee. However, you can use espresso if you’d like. It will just have a bit of a different flavor and more of a coffee “kick”! Cheers!
But I also make a gallon At a time
Would honey be a substitute for the sugar ? Or ?
Absolutely! Honey will definitely change the flavor, but would probably be delicious. Let me know if you try it!
I make mine with grain alcohol
Sorry hit the wrong button .strong ground coffee and let sit on counter for about 20 hours drain ) then add molass, the vanilla and then add 190 proof ( I use Everclear ) and mix you don't have to heat the sugar. Works well I have about 28 bottle made that are over a year old and I give them out as Xmas gift
You weren't quite clear on the sugar you used. Is it organic turbinado?
I used an organic cane sugar. Slightly smaller crystal then turbinado, but similar color and taste. A turbinado would work great here also!
Joy.
What brand of bourbon did you use?
Noble Oak! They are my go-to for just about everything. Delicious in a cocktail, smooth enough to sip neat, and priced so I don’t feel bad using it for culinary adventures.
another one of your recipes I want to try! Thanks !
Mount Gay Barbados Rum
[ Pride Flag not included ] 🏳🌈 👍😀
Starbuck's Coffee Liqueur is no longer being produced. It wasn't as sweet as Kahlua, would your Vodka recipe come close ?
I wanna be there to taste test!! Need a roommate??
I think it is against the law to leave that last sip in the bottle. :)
I have 'TERRIBLE' news 😏😏😏
I used Jim Beam Black Cherry for the bourbon and because no one was here to see it, I REALLY did NOT do a sex face when I tried it.
😂🤣 my condolences
i used instant coffee. came out terrible. will use real coffee and make a new batch
Tito’s is not smooth, but rather junk that shouldn’t qualify as vodka.
I don't think I can watch any more of your videos, purely because you obviously hate your work. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Cheers!
Ah yes, I struggle so hard with this work… 😂
Bla bla bla skipping everywhere but the recipe. Irrelevant info
Thank god you had enough time to leave an obnoxious comment though. 👍
day drinking is so much fun
