I'm taking a completely different approach with the following entry, and it might catch a few of my faithful a bit offguard, but hey, if you know me, you know darned good and well I'm anything but normal.
One of my favorite things to do on certain evenings is make exotic drinks, or drinks that simply just taste really good, and a lot of them are made with a certain coffee flavored liqueor. And while I'm a big huge fan of that delicious, thick concoction, it tends to be a bit overpriced.
Therefore, yours truly has been blessed with a recipe for same said coffee flavored liqueor, and once it has been made, and made at a fraction of the price you would pay for a single bottle of it, you can use it and make the same drink recipes you would use the brand name stuff for. You can make white Russians, black Russians, mix it with coffee, use it to make mudslides, the list goes on and on. And while I'm protecting myself by not mentioning the name of this liqueor, you can go to their website and find recipes which you can use this recipe of mine to make.
I'm curious to hear from any of you bold enough to take the challenge, because honestly, it's very inexpensive to make and will yield you probably close to a half gallon of the stuff or more. The best part of it, other than the cost, is that it tastes absolutely like the real thing, if not a little better, and it tastes great just drinking shots of it all by its lonesome...
So come on, faithful few, grab a few bucks, go to the store and pick up the necessary items and let's get ready to make the
RainbowDemon's Coffee Liqueor
In a pan on the kitchen stove combine the following:
4 cups of water
4 cups of sugar
6 well rounded teaspoons of instant coffee (I prefer Folgers)
Bring the entire contents to a boil for 20 minutes, stirring occassionally to keep the sugar disolved, then let cool.
Once this mixture has cooled, add the following:
4 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract (makes no difference if it's the real thing or imitation)
32 ounces of Vodka (it doesn't have to be a top brand either, actually, the cheaper stuff will do fine, just try and make sure it's at least 70-100 proof.
And that, my friends, is it. It's ready for immediate use, and I suggest having a couple of bottles handy, the empty vodka bottle is a good one as is an empty glass gatorade bottle...
Come on, faithful readers, and give this a try and let me know what you think.
And remember, drink responsibly, but above else, drink and enjoy!
