I found this: Homemade Kahlua® (our personal favorite) Recipe
* 6 cups sugar * 6 cups water * 20 tsp instant coffee * 1/2 gallon vodka * 12 tsp pure vanilla
Mix sugar, water, coffee together and bring to slow boil. Turn heat down and simmer 1 hour. Remove heat, cover liquid with plastic wrap. Let sit for 12 hours, then remove wrap (it will pick up film from the top). Add vodka and vanilla, stir well. Bottle in dark bottles.
Notes:, Yield 3 quarts. Drinkable immediately. We usually make a half-batch because it's so darn big. and more here.

Does it taste like an almost exact knock off, or is it just Kahluaish?

Nothing worse than a White Slovakian.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm heading to the liquor store in the morning to pick up a half gallon of Smirnoff 80 to give it a try. I'll let you know when I get time to make it.
I have to stay away from the Russians. Black Russians could easily take me to alcoholism and I just never cared for the White Russians. The Kahlua is for ice cream.

We'll know. Your posts will start reading like DVC's about 12.3 hours after you "cover the liquid with plastic wrap".

Try using Coffee Mate for the "white" part some time.... Better yet, don't.
