This recipe was given to me by a very nice cocktail waitress at a little neighborhood Mexican restaurant called Dave and Dar's in Denver about 25 years ago. The restaurant is long gone, but te recipe still lingers.
Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
3 cups water
4 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pint grain alcohol (190 proof everclear)
Directions:
1. Bring sugar and water to a boil.
2. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Add coffee.
4. Let cool to room temperature.
5. Add vanilla and grain alcohol.
6. Bottle and let set for at least one week, and preferably a month or longer, before serving.
7. Note: I have also had it after allowing it to age for 15 minutes, and it was still pretty good, but definitely a little rough around the edges.
