Ingredients

4 cups water
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup dried espresso
3 cups vodka
2 vanilla beans, split
2 shots of chocolate liqueur.

Instructions

Combine the water, both sugars and dried espresso in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil; turn the heat to low and simmer for a minimum of 1 hour.to reduce the mixture and make a more syrupy consistency.
Watch constantly and stir occasionally.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Add vodka, vanilla beans and chocolate liqueur.
Pour everything into a storage container.
Age for 3-4 weeks in a cool, dark location; stirring once or twice a week. (Note...it's absolutely drinkable earlier; so if you have less time to age it than that; gift it and make a note on the gift tag to wait just a bit).
When ready to bottle, remove vanilla beans, bottle mixture and store.
Notes

I cut up the vanilla beans and add them to some sugar...nothing at all wrong with Kahlua flavored sugar in your coffee!
