So cool that we have the same ideas, but we do them differently! That's the beauty of mixology and cocktails. But now we really have to do a collab! ;)
4 роки тому+3
I'm all in for a collab! Thanks Truffles On The Rocks! This was a pleasant surprise!
Have had an account for 10 years, this is my 1st ever comment on UA-cam. Just gotta say this channel is so good, great cinematography, length and content. Really enjoy the videos, been here since 3k subs, pretty sure you'll be over 100k soon. Keep it up
Using straight up coffee and cold brew in cocktails I believe is sometimes super underrated in the bar community. This is awesome. Also, I am really admiring your different shots on your videos. Pretty sick, goes with the style. Can notice the effort.
Started making a list to restock my bar about an hour ago and literally was just thinking about making my own coffee liqueur instead of buying it. I'm super excited to give this one a try!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I definitely gave it a try after I got some fresh beans. Didn't have a cold brew cloth but I just filtered it with a water rinsed coffee filter. I love the outcome. Very coffee forward. I even dropped the amount of sugar into the final mixture and it was fantastic. I could drink it on rocks by itself. Thank you so much.
@@FantomMind I’m stoked! First, thanks for the feedback! I’m really happy you like the recipe! Let me know if you give this one a shot in some cocktails. Cheers
You're an artist. You inspired me to make my own homemade coffee liqueur and use it for these drinks (White Russian is my all time favorite). Here's my sub.
I am making it now with Stolichnaya, which was wat I had on hand. Is that a vodka that Russian people like, or is it like the Dutch with Heineken (most Dutch people either hate it or only tolerate it)?
Michiel Westbeek Russian quality control systems are insanely awful. So Stoli is pretty like Heineken. There is pretty big variety of vodkas in Russia and two large sections: cheap vodka and expensive one. Stoly in Russia is from the first group😂 Fun fact about Stoli: in the year 1971 it was sold to PepsiCo, and after that became an international foreign brand. So, according to the fact, that this one is international foreign brand and, if it produced within US certification and control systems, it could be pretty good! But it is definitely a trash pick, if got bottle from Russian enterprise)
Thanks for the homemade cold brew coffee liqueur. Might try that out and use it for tiramisu. Kahlua's too sweet to my liking, with this I can adjust the sweetness of the liqueur!
Maan is that liqueur top tier!! I followed the exact measures and steps but instead of the cold brew bag (i don't think we have that here) i just mixed the coffee right in and filtered after 24h. Also i used rum instead of vodka (havanna club 3) and used some cheap vanilin essence instead of real vanilla extract (half tea spoon maybe?). But those changes didn't seem to make it less of an impressive coffee liqueur better than any one i've ever bought. Also, very simple recipe! More than the other ones i saw. Very well sir!
My problem with White Russian is that I could easily drink more than ten in an evening. With this recipe I will probably get even more! Thanks for sharing this mate! PS: slightly un-related note, if anyone is making their own cold brew, try adding chopped dried figs and chopped hazelnuts in the mix, the resulting cold brew is the most amazing thing you've ever tasted!
Speaking my language. Coffee and liquor. Something to make today and enjoy tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration! How about tea infused if you haven't already?
Tried it and absolutely loved it! I'm wondering if it is possible, instead of adding the sugar as a syrup, can you add it straight to the liqueur without water? To keep the abv higher.
Not really. For what I wanted to achieve I wanted to most nutral spirit possible and vodka is pretty much that. Of course you can play with the base if you want a different flavour profile but it will yield a less versatile liqueur.
I made this liqueur today. After tasting about 20 ml I felt like I overdosed caffeine. :o So it's extremely strong. I used specialty coffee from a Polish roastery, 50 grams seems to be too much - in the standard cold brew I use 50 grams for 700 ml of water, and maybe vodka extracts the strenghtness more than water? Also: it was so strong EVEN THOUGH I stopped the total infusion after 8 hours! Do you think it may be because I didn't use the paper brew bag? Why using the bag is important at all? Anyway - it's very tasty if you use good coffee and good vodka (mine was Wyborowa - quite good Polish vodka).
Those are good questions and unfortunately, since I couldt' taste your liqueur or see exactly how you made it, it's hard for me to say what could have gone wrong. That said, tha bag is mostly just to ease the process and it shouldn't affect the taste. You are correct saying vodka extract more flavours than water but I made this recipe (always using my favourite coffee from local roaster) and I always loved it. So I would say it's probably the coffe here that causes such a big difference. Maybe try s lighter one? But the beauty with this is, if you feel it's too strong, you can always add more vodka after the infusion until you like the balance and then add the sugar. Hope this helps. Cheers
Hey! I'm halfway through making it, but mine is turning out extremely cinnamon forward. So I took the cinnamon out (after almost 6 hours of infusion). Was I supposed to take it out after 4 together with the orange peels? It didn't mention in the video. I've added a bit more vodka and am letting it infuse for the rest of the time, hoping the cold brew will overtake the cinnamon again. But I can already taste how delicious all these flavours work together, so thank you!
Michiel Westbeek well that’s unexpected. I, with only one gram of cinnamon, didn’t feel the cinnamon was dominant. More like an extra that blends with other flavours. Did you weight only one gram?
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I did as best as I could, but the scale was not very accurate. It cannot have been much more though, it was quite a small amount. But it was a crushed cinnamon stick, so maybe the surface area was greater? Also, I have now ordered a precise micro scale 😅
Right, two things. Don't add syrup to the bottle, it shortens the lifespan of your liqueur substantially and you can add some rich simple syrup at any point when you're mixing your drink. Secondly you don't really need a cold brew bag, just strain the mix through a coffee filter when you're bottling it. Otherwise the recipe itself is really great.
Hi! I’m normally a third wave coffee person… can I use a medium to light roast coffee for the liqueur or is the taste of coffee not going to be powerful enough for the liqueur ? What’s your thought on that - delicious or weak taste ? Thanks
My experience is cold brew with light or medium roasts are mediocre hence the choice of dark roast for my liqueur. That said, alcohol is a far more powerful solvent so you might get something good with lighter roast. I just didn’t try it. Hope this helps. Cheers
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks - Yeah that's super helpful. Thanks for a lot for getting back to me, I appreciate it. I'll start with a dark roast and see how I like it. Maybe even try with a lighter roast later on to compare... sounds like a fun thing to do :)
Good evening...just got around to making the coffee liqueur. Smells great, and I’ll be making a White Russian later with it. Can you tell me if it is shelf stable or does it need to be refrigerated and used up in a certain amount of time?
Hey Jody, sorry for the delay. Hope you're having great holiday so far! The liqueur is shelf stable.. I had mine at room temp for 3-4 months now and nothing had changed. I hope you will like it. Cheers!
The first time on this Channel and I love it. I have a curiosity...Could it be a good option if I use pisco instead of vodka? There is always a bottle of it at home, that's why I am asking.thanks!
Welcome arround Betty! Well that's interesting. You will be able to extract the coffee flavours that's for sure. But the taste will also be different. Will the coffee take over? Just to a certain extent. But not completely. That said... if you like Pisco and coffee together then I'm sure you can give it a try. Let me know if you do. Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks thanks for the answer. I'll try your recipe one of these days, I'm very curious about it. For me, it's always cool to find more recipes...I love coffee and anything related to it. In fact, there is a coffee sour (with pisco) that we prepare at my country that it's really nice.. I'll be back with news 😅😅
I have a few questions. If I don't want to use Kahlua. What else can I use that close to what you made from that has orange infuse in coffee liquor? Can I get any coffee liquor simply add Cinnamon and orange peel for 4hours?? Where did you get that small and large jars with the stone holder? Does simply syrup give the half and half a good flavor? And are you from Greece?
Hey! I think the best pick would be Mr. Black cold brew liqueur. Maybe you could just use regular coffee liqueur and infuse it with orange peels and cinnamon. I never tried it though. The jar is from a local Canadian designer. Link is in the pinned comment down the Affiliate links section. Not sure to get the half and hald question, sorry. And no I'm Canadian. Cheers!
I might be a little late, but my question: Most other recepies I have found online say that the mixture has to sit at least 2 weeks. Why is yours done after 24 hours?
Hey Nico. I can't tell for the other recipes you looked but maybe it has to do with the grounds they use? I did try once to infuse whole coffee grains for longer and really didn't like the result. I would suggest to try my recipe and after 24 hours, give it a taste and if you want you can always let it go for a little longer before completing the recipe but I personnally don't think it's necessary. Cheers!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks because in asian market they usually sold it in 2 kinds. Original dried orange peel and also "manisan" or sugar coated dried orange peel 😅.
@@RogerLiem ok I see. In the recipe I used fresh organic orange that I peeled. It wasn’t dried peels. If you are gonna use dry peel, use unsweetened but I’m not sure of the quantity you should use t n
Truffles On The Rocks perhaps we will find ourselves on opposite sides of a bar one day and I’ll enjoy an experimental cocktail made by you. Thanks again!

You can try whipping the cream in your shaker with a blender ball or the spring from the hawthorne strainer. Shake a bit then check the thickness. If it beads up on your finger then you should be able to layer it one nicely
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I did :)) the combination of coffee and vodka is amazing and I did try making both cocktails that you made in this video. It was much better than making with Kahlua
Awesome video. I wish you'd go easy on the "organic" though. Organic is complete rubbish. Nothing but a marketing scam. Good quality farm fresh is better, but that's not what organic is. It's pure marketing crap. An absolute scam. Okay, I'm off to make some espresso martini :)
If what you say is true, then I'm really sad. I don't know where you live but here in Canada, I feel laws and regulations about food is quite strict that I tend to trust it when it's labeled as organic. Hope I'm not fooled
Not sure about that WHite russian, too much Ice for my Taste but i will definetly try out making that Coffee Liquer myself. Its hard to get any decent coffee liquer apart from Khalua most of the time, and that is not only pricy, but also always the same.
Thank for the comment. I hope you give it a try and really wish you’ll like it. On the other hand, I have to say, too much ice in a drink should never be an issue. It’s the opposite. It is simple physics. More ice = colder and slower dilution. Give it a try please. If you think bartenders steal from you with the ice, it is not the case. When the cocktail doesn’t fit in a glass filled with ice, we just select a bigger glass. Cheers
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Seen it oftem enough as an excuse to pipe down on the drink itself for more profit or the barman having no idea what he does. If the drink has no taste in the end someting is wrong^^ Another Example is when you order SODA like Coke. Its already cooled and they still add like half the glass Ice. Its just too cold and only half SODA, rest is cheap Water^^
@@SpriGgEx craft cocktails shouldn’t be compared to TGIF’s or Mc Donald’s fountain cokes. Unfortunately I think I won’t be able to make you change your mind. I think it’s sad.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks No one Talks about McDonalds here I talk about non Alcoholic Drinks like Sodas and IceCoffee, IceChocolates that get regulary ruined by too much Ice not only to cool them down but to increase Money Income and sometimes just have bad people working behind the Bars. Ordered in Bars, Cafés and Restaurants. ALso 1. McDonalds and Co dont serve original Sodas, they use Syrup and CO2 to mix their drinks themselves. Doesnt rly taste like from the bottles, more like from a Soda Stream. 2. Only had 1 drink from Burger King in like the last 2 years, and it had barely any Ice in it

Any suggestions for recipe using a fresh vanilla bean instead of extract in terms of amount in grams and preparation?

@@buzinhogamer3802 I don't remember. It might have been by half.
I also made a batch with no sugar at all and just added sugar to my cocktails.
I've been really enjoying making my espresso martinis with pisco instead of vodka, adds a bit of funk and depth
Thats interesting. Never thought of that. Made Espresso martini with several different base but not Pisco. I sure will try. Cheers!
Tried this coffee liqueur recipe out and absolutely loved it! Thanks JF!

Stop making every drink look so beautiful. Lol. I don’t know if I want to drink it or make love to it. Great job as usual!! 🥃
Hahahahahaha
You can add lemon essence in the shaker or on the cocktail. I think it's so much better with lemon essence.
Love the content as always
Thank you!

LOL! Don't worry, there's always room for more ;)
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Perfect!!!
Great video as always! I think Espresso Martini is one of those drinks that saved my night more than once. 😂 Have to try your syrup recipe!
HAHAH!!!! YEah they are a great combo of "fun" and "energy" LOL Cheers!
What's the shelf life for the liqueur? And does it need to be stored in the refrigerator?
I enjoyed this video
Amazing! Thank you
Man knows his stuff for sure
My problem with White Russian is that I could easily drink more than ten in an evening. With this recipe I will probably get even more!

Looking good mate!
Thanks! BTW, you guys don't distribute in Canada right?
Speaking my language. Coffee and liquor. Something to make today and enjoy tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration! How about tea infused if you haven't already?
I love working with tea. Do you have a favourite one? I already made a lapsang Souchong infused tequila. Was cool
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks to make it simple, and one that many would have, an earl grey would be interesting.
The Matador cool
Congratulations!! You succeded!! I'm hooked. The only thing... I'm afraid I won't sleep for the rest of my life with this amazing coffee liqueur. 😂😂😂
Hahah! That will give you another good reason to drink early in the day. Lol
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Jesus... 😮 Do I really need any other reason??? 🤔
Can we get a clarified version of white russian please?
24 hours to make a cocktail!!!! I want it nowwwwww!
HAHA!!! All good things come to those who wait they say ;)
How much yield comes after each time you infuse because the coffe must take different amount of alcohol into itself and it comes out inconsistent
Tried it and absolutely loved it!
I'm wondering if it is possible, instead of adding the sugar as a syrup, can you add it straight to the liqueur without water? To keep the abv higher.
You could. My goal was to bring the liqueur to a lower abv actually to resemble what’s on the market. But you sure can keep it higher
Great recipe, I have been wanting to make my own coffee liqueur for a while! Any tips on how to increase shelf life?
It should be shelf stable as is. I kept mine for 4 months at room temp before emptying the bottle and it didn't move at all.
Dats smooth brah!
Thanks! Cheers
Hi, great stuff! Where did you get those flasks in the concrete bases!?
Love your videos! Just put a Truffle bourbon in fridge :)
SICK!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it. Cheers!
Where did you get the round bottom bottle and base I really want one!
You can buy them here www.studio50.ca/?ref=TOTR
Thoughts on using a different base spirit to make the liqueur?
Not really. For what I wanted to achieve I wanted to most nutral spirit possible and vodka is pretty much that. Of course you can play with the base if you want a different flavour profile but it will yield a less versatile liqueur.
Technically you can use rum as the base, but like JF said, the neutral spirit works best to really bring out the coffee flavor
What do you do when the coffee grounds absorb the vodka?
It's part of the deal when you make infusions. You will loose a little bit of liquid.
I made this liqueur today. After tasting about 20 ml I felt like I overdosed caffeine. :o So it's extremely strong. I used specialty coffee from a Polish roastery, 50 grams seems to be too much - in the standard cold brew I use 50 grams for 700 ml of water, and maybe vodka extracts the strenghtness more than water?

How come we never see you use rapid infusion? Not a fan of the isi?
There a very simple answer to that. I don't own a ISI canister LOL Otherwise I would use it quite often cause yes, I think flash infusions are great!
when you say, let it infuse, where store it? just room temperature or in the fridge ? thanks.
I infused it at room temp
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks 1 more question, about the orange peel. It's now sweetened right? Just a dried up orange peel with nothing added to it?
@@RogerLiem Hey Roger, sorry I'm not sure I understand your question
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks because in asian market they usually sold it in 2 kinds. Original dried orange peel and also "manisan" or sugar coated dried orange peel 😅.
@@RogerLiem ok I see. In the recipe I used fresh organic orange that I peeled. It wasn’t dried peels. If you are gonna use dry peel, use unsweetened but I’m not sure of the quantity you should use t n
@Truffles On The Rocks is it possible to make the coffee liqueur with a barrel aged gin instead of vodka?
I’m sure yes but that would be a little waste of good booze. Unless you want to use it in cocktails that will really be elevated by that fancy choice.
Truffles On The Rocks perhaps we will find ourselves on opposite sides of a bar one day and I’ll enjoy an experimental cocktail made by you. Thanks again!
@@aaronhughson285 Hopefuly! Where are you from?
Truffles On The Rocks Southern California.
I did that once but I used an aged rum instead of vodka
I'm sure it was great too!

Do you leave the cinnamon also?
I leave it for the whole 24 hours of infusion
Espresso Martini...without the Martini?
How long does that homemade coffee liqueur last?
Well it shouldn't go bad. The ABV and sugar are great conservative agents so... Mine is still good after 2 months
My heavy cream sunk to the bottom-still delicious, but not as beautiful! Any hints?
Maybe you didn't have enough ice ?
You can try whipping the cream in your shaker with a blender ball or the spring from the hawthorne strainer. Shake a bit then check the thickness. If it beads up on your finger then you should be able to layer it one nicely
I see 3 chocolate covered coffee beans for the garnish on your Kailua martini.🤓
Nope you can't hook me on them.... Already am :D Cold brew liqueur really brings the coffee forward.
HAHA!!! So I assume you will give this one a try ;) Cheers!
Truffles On The Rocks yes sir
Brewing my third batch rn within one year. Better than Kahlua
I don’t have rum here so I choose you!!!
Nice! Hope you will like it
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I did :)) the combination of coffee and vodka is amazing and I did try making both cocktails that you made in this video. It was much better than making with Kahlua
@@FikSuper oh! Thank you so much! Really appreciate the cool feedback 😃
That White Russian though....mmmmmm
Thank you!!! Cheers
TOTR - TOTR 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We Love You! Bartenders Love You 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 You are the very Best mazafaka 😘
Thanks mate! Cheers!!!!
I wonder what a white coffee liqueur would taste like? 😏
White as in clarified?
Let's change name of the second cocktail, shall we? Perhaps something more like human i'd say
Awesome video. I wish you'd go easy on the "organic" though. Organic is complete rubbish. Nothing but a marketing scam. Good quality farm fresh is better, but that's not what organic is. It's pure marketing crap. An absolute scam. Okay, I'm off to make some espresso martini :)
If what you say is true, then I'm really sad. I don't know where you live but here in Canada, I feel laws and regulations about food is quite strict that I tend to trust it when it's labeled as organic. Hope I'm not fooled
Not sure about that WHite russian, too much Ice for my Taste but i will definetly try out making that Coffee Liquer myself. Its hard to get any decent coffee liquer apart from Khalua most of the time, and that is not only pricy, but also always the same.
Thank for the comment. I hope you give it a try and really wish you’ll like it. On the other hand, I have to say, too much ice in a drink should never be an issue. It’s the opposite. It is simple physics. More ice = colder and slower dilution. Give it a try please. If you think bartenders steal from you with the ice, it is not the case. When the cocktail doesn’t fit in a glass filled with ice, we just select a bigger glass. Cheers
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks
Seen it oftem enough as an excuse to pipe down on the drink itself for more profit or the barman having no idea what he does.
If the drink has no taste in the end someting is wrong^^
Another Example is when you order SODA like Coke.
Its already cooled and they still add like half the glass Ice. Its just too cold and only half SODA, rest is cheap Water^^
@@SpriGgEx craft cocktails shouldn’t be compared to TGIF’s or Mc Donald’s fountain cokes. Unfortunately I think I won’t be able to make you change your mind. I think it’s sad.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks No one Talks about McDonalds here
I talk about non Alcoholic Drinks like Sodas and IceCoffee, IceChocolates that get regulary ruined by too much Ice not only to cool them down but to increase Money Income and sometimes just have bad people working behind the Bars.
Ordered in Bars, Cafés and Restaurants.
ALso
1. McDonalds and Co dont serve original Sodas, they use Syrup and CO2 to mix their drinks themselves. Doesnt rly taste like from the bottles, more like from a Soda Stream.
2. Only had 1 drink from Burger King in like the last 2 years, and it had barely any Ice in it
I’ll use Kailua. Done in 10 seconds. Don’t mess with tradition. The dude abides.
Its a staple for sure, this or Mr. Black is a great alternative if you don't want it too sweet
Also Dude always stirred his WR.
Please do not shake like that 🤣🤣🤣
