Line a fine-mesh sieve with a coffee filter and strain immediately into a
4-cup glass measuring cup. Combine the coffee and the sugars in a medium
saucepan. Heat for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly, just until
the mixture begins to steam (do not bring to a boil). Remove the pan from
the heat and let cool. Stir in the glycerin, vanilla, and vodka. Using a

Liqueur should be ready to drink in 3 or 4 days and has a shelf life of 2
