happy hour: coffee infused vodka + coffee delight cocktail

Ok, are you ready for round two of infused vodka mania? This week we're getting a hair crazier and infusing our vodka with coffee. Coffee is an even quicker infusion than the citrus we made last week. My infusion was super strong after only a day in the pantry. Just one whiff of that stuff and you'll be awake for good. So you've got your infusion made, now you just have to make a tasty cocktail. Well, I've got a simple and delicious one for you to try, although it does take a little thinking ahead of time. That's because you need to make coffee ice cubes. Once you've got that done you just add some of the coffee infused vodka, a little vanilla syrup to sweeten it up a bit and then top it off with a bit of seltzer. Shazam, you just made a delicious coffee delight cocktail. This week is a super duper happy hour because I'm actually in California. My awesome friends Erik and Dana are getting married and I just couldn't be happier for them. I'll be back to making stuff mid next week. Until then, have a great weekend. Cheers! coffee delight cocktail makes 1 2 parts coffee infused vodka 1 coffee ice cube 1 part vanilla simple syrup* seltzer 1 Place the vodka, ice cube and syrup in a cocktail shaker.

    Um, this coffee cocktail sounds amazing. I love the idea of coffee-infused vodka. Especially because it’s all about instant gratification :) Sorry that I’ve been an absent commenter; I just finished up my law school exams and am finally getting around to my google reader.
