Everyone makes this a little different; I can not get the Irish Cream and Kahlua syrups locally and I hate to pay extra for shipping (I am cheap) so I make my own recipe which I modified from Dana Carpender’s book, 200 Low Carb Slow Cooker Recipes. She uses 3 cups Splenda, I just can not use my Splenda this way and feel good about it. I can get sf vanilla and chocolate syrups much cheaper at Cost Plus World Market than using a whole bag of Splenda so I use that instead.
1 bottle of cheap vodka (750 milliliters)
2 cups sf vanilla syrup (I use Torani)
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules (I use Folgers decaf)
½ cup of warm filtered water
1 tsp of real vanilla
Mix the water with the coffee granules. I heat the water just enough to melt the coffee granules. Then I mix everything together in a nice pretty clear bottle, seal it and shake it a few times and place it in the refrigerator. Viola, Mockahlua. It lasts forever and is really good for desserts and coffee, or of course just sipping as a white Russian . Sometimes I make it with chocolate syrup and really good quality dark coco powder to get a chocolate flavor. Makes sure you melt the coco powder well before mixing, and only use good quality coco powder not squares because you do not want the coco butter to solidify in your mixture.
