Ground Coffee Beans & Vodka are the Foundation for this Liqueur.
Special thanks to Alex, via Jesse for the Cafe Du Monde Coffee & Chicory.
Playing back-up is the Vanilla Bean and Simple Syrup.
I added Ground Coffee Beans to Vodka and added...
...a scraped Vanilla Bean - Pod, Seeds and all.
I agitated the vessel containing the mixture.
I added Simple Syrup and agitated it again. I stored it in the back of the fridge for 3-4 weeks and shook the container every 2-3 days.
Approximately 1 month later, I strained the mixture and discarded the solids.
I double strained the liquid using my french press to help eliminate 98% of the particulate matter that remained. The rest of the fine particles I would strain out when it came time to building a cocktail.
The final product. I stored it inside of an old vodka bottle - nothing "frosty" about this black ice!
My coffee elixir + this fine aged rum & heavy cream =
La Dominicana.
