Can anyone recommend a lower cost sub for Kahlua?? (liquor, vs, taste)

Any suggestions welcomed.

Kamora is often used a well brand at bars.

I found an article about Kahlua versus Kamora.

I haven't had a problem with any coffee flavored liquor but you may be able to make your own.

I remember using method #2 when I was a poor college student. I gave it as Xmas gifts. It was gooood.

Make your own kahlua.
There are many recipes on the net, and making it isn't hard at all.

I found the following somewhere on the 'net a while ago and like it:

Kahlua Recipe
1- C Dark Brown Sugar

3/4 C Granulated Sugar

1/4 C + 2 Tbsp Instant Coffee Crystals

2-C Water

Combine all, bring to a boil and simmer ~ 10 minutes

Remove from heat and add 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract when cool.

Add:

1-C Everclear 151 Proof

1- C Brandy

Let sit a few days, less syrupy/less sweet than Kahlua, makes a tasty Black Russian !

I have occasionally added ~ 2 Tbsp of cocoa while simmering, I like the chocolate taste but it muddies the look a bite and will drop some sediment.

Perhaps a little Creme de Cacao would be a nice touch?
