Saturday Sips: Homemade Kahlua Holiday Gifts

Homemade Kahula Gifts from www.evermine.com
If you search the web for homemade Kahlua recipes, you’ll find tons of variations. Some are made with instant coffee or espresso powder, while others are made using freshly ground coffee beans. Some incorporate vanilla by way of vanilla extract, while others will scrape whole vanilla beans and infuse finished bottles with the pods. Some are made using a base of rum, and others are made using vodka. In other words, there’s a lot of wiggle room for experimenting with different techniques. A lot of it comes down to personal preference.

Homemade Kahula Gifts from www.evermine.com
Today we’re sharing our own variation on the recipe, which we’re making a few weeks ahead of time for the holidays. We want each bottle to have plenty of time to infuse before we package them up and gift them out for Christmas.

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.

    Your instructions say to add vanilla extract and coffee but there’s no coffee in the ingredients?

      Hi Lovie, the “coffee” is the water, expresso and sugar mixture— so you will simply add the vanilla to that once it’s cooled 🙂
