Introduction: Drunken Coffee? Pretty Much.
Coffee is great, booze is greater, why not put them together?
Let's get started shall we?

Step 1: Tools and Supplies.
lets see here, gather up two 750ml bottles of cheap but fairly smooth vodka, a glass bottle or jar big enough to hold the contents of both, your favorite fair trade organic coffee beans, some foil and a few rubber bands. (not pictured but also useful, coffee grinder, spoon, coffee cup and a funnel.)
Step 2: Grinder Time
Delicious coffee, scoop it into a cup. I used the same amount for each bottle of vodka as I would for a pot of coffee. off to the grinder and back looking like this.
Step 3: Fill 'er Up
Pour one bottle of vodka into the large glass bottle (this one is half a gallon).
Now grab a funnel and pour the coffee in slowly. When all the coffee is added pour the other bottle of vodka in on top.

Step 4: Cover and Shake.
Cover with foil. Secure the foil with rubber bands.
Give the bottle a quick shake, try to keep as much coffee as possible submerged.

Step 5: Hide It From the Sun.
Find a nice dark closet or cupboard. Place bottle on shelf and let the magic happen.
Clean up the original vodka bottles and strip off the labels.

Step 6: And Then....
After a few days give your booze a sniff, and a taste. If you like how it has progressed it is time to filter and bottle it.
Grab a coffee filter, a funnel and those spiffy bottles the vodka came in. Put the filter in the funnel and refill the vodka bottles. I wound up using a pitcher under the filter. Depending on the size of the funnel you have and the neck size of the bottle this might not be needed.
