If you're anything like me you can never remember which is and which isn't gluten free. In perusing Tastespotting I came across a picture of a lovely libation and clicked on the link which directed me to the blog Cupcake Project. Holy Cow! I came across recipes for both Bailey's and Kahlua and just in time for New Year's Eve!
I'm not sure from where the original recipes came, but many thanks to Cupcake Project for making them mainstream!
Kahlua - Cupcake Project Blog
6 cups brewed coffee
1 pound light brown sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 liter of vodka
While the coffee is still hot, mix in the brown sugar. Let cool. Mix in vanilla and vodka. Serve over ice, in mixed drinks like a frozen mudslide, etc.
