Coffee-Infused Vodka

Two vices are better than one!

GET IT

• Dark roast coffee or espresso beans
• Vodka
• Mortar and pestle
• Infusing vessel of choice (make sure it has a tight-fitting lid)
• Fine mesh strainer

MAKE IT

Lightly crush coffee beans in a mortar and pestle and drop them into your infusing vessel at a ratio of 1/4 cup beans per two cups vodka. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, put the beans in a zip-top bag and smack the beans with a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy saucepan until they’re lightly crushed. Pour vodka over top and seal tightly. Let the coffee beans infuse for 2-4 days.

Place strainer over a bowl. Pour the coffee vodka over the strainer to remove the solid pieces and stop the infusing process. Pour the vodka back into your infusing vessel and seal to store.
