Dana, (*hic*) this is terrific, just as the recipe is written. It's the best homemade Kahlua that I've had. Next time I might try the (*hic*) 100-proof vodka instead of the 80-proof, just to see if it makes a big difference in taste. Now I have to go to the store to buy more milk for White Russians! Thanks for posting.

What a great recipe, I had it years ago and lost it, but sure is nice find it again, Thanks Dana! There is a vanilla vodka by Stoli's, it makes a fabulous Vanilla White Russian. Equal parts kahlua and vodka over ice, top off with milk and shake. Yummeee! If you have a party, usually women don't know what to drink because they really don't like the taste of liquor, this one makes them come back for more! Be careful, it'll sneak up on you!
