I used brewed coffee instead of the water and added 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. Delicious! Rich, creamy & decadent! I'm giving this as Holiday gifts this year and I'm re-using Grolsch beer bottles with the resealable lids to gift this in. Can't wait! Thanks for the recipe!

Home made coffee liqueur tastes so much better than the kind you buy in the store! I used Splenda to make this healthier. It made about 2 1/2 bottles.

I make this recipe every year for the holidays. Having made it for a number of years now I have a few suggestions. First of all using 2 cups brown sugar and 2 cups white gives a more complex sweetness. Also I add 1/2 cup cocoa powder for a chocolate finish. Also you get a better coffee flavor when using espresso instead of coffee granules. And lastly I split the alcohol into 2 cups vodka and 2 cups brandy. Brandy complements the flavors better than straight vodka. Delish!!!

Very very good. You can really play with the flavor based on the coffee you use. My only caution is to make sure you buy enough vodka. My math was off in the milliliters to cups department and my first attempt was extremely weak.

Made to go in Christmas gift baskets. Not much of a drinker myself but did try some before giving away and it seemed very good!

This was delicious! Much better than Kahlua. I made it as Xmas gifts and bottled it in beautiful bottles I got fom Pier One- it was a huge hit! I used a cheap bottle of vodka with no ill-effects.
