Description
A classic cocktail combining vodka and coffee liqueur, topped with a layer of cream for a rich and smooth experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz vodka (high-quality for smoothness)
- 1 oz coffee liqueur (Kahlúa, Tia Maria, or homemade)
- 1 oz heavy cream (or sub half-and-half/coconut cream)
- Ice cubes (large, to minimize dilution)
Instructions
- Chill the Glass: Use an Old Fashioned (lowball) glass—sturdy and classic. Optionally, chill it in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Build the Drink: Fill the glass ¾ full with ice. Pour in vodka and coffee liqueur. Stir gently if you prefer a unified flavor (or leave layered).
- Float the Cream: Slowly pour heavy cream over the back of a spoon to create a luxurious top layer.
- Serve: As-Is: Sip slowly, letting the cream meld in. Stirred: Blend for a silky, uniform texture.
Notes
- Vegan? Use coconut cream or oat milk creamer.
- Extra Indulgence: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla syrup.
- For a Cold Sip: Store vodka/glass in the freezer beforehand.
