My second try to make homemade coffee liqueur. The first one was ground coffee infused vodka with cinnamon stick and orange peel + 3:2 Demerara syrup. But it turned to be too cinnamony, which tasted good in Dominicana cocktail but too distracting in Espresso Martini styled cocktails.
For this one I decided to use coffee beans infused overproof Jamaican rum, cold brew coffee and coconut sugar syrup for some caramel flavor (120 ml infused rum, 120 ml coffee, 45 ml rich 2:1 coconut sugar syrup). The liqueur tastes boozier and funk of the rum overpowers coffee flavor a bit. So still looking for better recipe.
What’s your recipe you tried and like the most? 🙂
