But its flavor is deeper and more nuanced when you make the coffee liqueur at home. Our homemade Kahlua recipe is less syrupy than the name brand, with a sweet (but not too sweet) character, some notes of vanilla and a buttery, caramelized flavor from dark rum. It&#8217;s one of the best\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-food-gift-ideas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-food-gift-ideas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">food gift ideas<\/a>\u00a0when the holidays roll around.<\/p>\n<p>Some coffee liqueur recipes require several weeks of steeping, or call for shortcut ingredients like instant coffee. Our easy Kahlua recipe falls somewhere in between. We start with real brewed coffee from our favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-coffee-brand\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-coffee-brand\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coffee brands<\/a> for the purest coffee flavor. But instead of steeping, we turn the brew into coffee syrup so the liqueur is ready to drink as soon as the syrup cools. Of course, the flavors really round out if you can wait a week (or longer), so feel free to let it age before enjoying it.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Kahlua?<\/h2>\n<p>Kahlua is a brand of coffee liqueur founded in 1936 in Veracruz, Mexico, by four friends who wanted to infuse rum with coffee (specifically, Arabica coffee). Years later, the liqueur was used to create the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-russian\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-russian\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">black Russian<\/a> cocktail (and later, the lighter and creamier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/white-russian\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/white-russian\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">white Russian<\/a>). Its name\u00a0derives from an Arabic slang word for &#8220;coffee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The key to crafting a truly great homemade Kahlua comes down to the quality of the ingredients used. You can make it with instant coffee granules, but we prefer to make our homemade coffee liqueur the old-fashioned way: with fresh-brewed espresso, sugar, vanilla and rum. The liqueur shines in everything from classic cocktails to desserts and boozy milkshakes like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mudslide\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mudslide\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mudslides<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Homemade Kahlua Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brewed espresso:<\/strong> Espresso has a stronger roasted character than coffee, so we use it to make this coffee liqueur robust. If you don&#8217;t have an espresso maker, you can make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-espresso\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-espresso\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">easy espresso<\/a> in a coffee pot by using a ratio of 1\/2 cup of ground coffee for every 1-1\/2 cups of water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated white sugar is used to create the coffee syrup. Feel free to swap in brown sugar to add extra caramel and toffee notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rum:<\/strong> The original Kahlua is made with rum. We&#8217;ve tried this recipe with white and dark rum, and we think dark rum is the winner. It&#8217;s warmer and richer, creating a coffee liqueur that tastes pretty close to the original recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Vanilla rounds out the sweetness and adds a creamy element.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the coffee simple syrup<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Homemade-Kahlua_FT24_273769_EC_0828_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Espresso and sugar in a large saucepan.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large saucepan, bring the espresso and sugar to a boil.

You can even use other types of alcohol, like bourbon, vodka or grain alcohol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deepen the vanilla flavor: <\/strong>Try making Kahlua with a whole vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract.\u00a0Split the vanilla bean lengthwise (like you would when making\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade vanilla extract<\/a>) and add it to the Kahlua alongside the rum. Age the Kahlua for one week to one month.

Try cinnamon sticks, hazelnuts or star anise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Homemade Kahlua<\/h2>\n<p>Store Kahlua in a large jar with a tightly fitted lid, or transfer it to smaller glass bottles for gifting. Either way, it doesn&#8217;t have to be refrigerated, but it&#8217;s best to keep it in a cool, dry place.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does homemade Kahlua last?<\/h3>\n<p>If stored properly, homemade Kahlua will maintain its flavor and potency for three to four years. Kahlua that has gone bad will smell off and have a watered-down taste.<\/p>\n<h2>Homemade Kahlua Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2041289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Homemade-Kahlua_TOHcom23_273769_DR_08_02_8b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Homemade Kahlua\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What liquor should you use to make homemade Kahlua?<\/h3>\n<p>We make our homemade Kahlua recipe with rum, but you can make this coffee liqueur with almost any spirit base.
