White Russian

Notes

• The gradient of milk influences the drink. For a dessert drink, half-and-half or heavy cream is usually the move. If I want a more alcohol taste and lighter drink, I use 2% or whole milk.

INGREDIENTS

• Vodka (1.5 oz)
• Kahlúa (0.75 oz)
• Heavy Cream or Half-and-Half (3/4 oz)
• Ice (I prefer one large ice cube)

Equipment

• Rocks glasses

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill a rocks glass with one large ice cube.
2. Pour the vodka and coffee liqueur over the ice in the glass.
3. Stir gently to combine.
4. Slowly pour the heavy cream or half-and-half over the back of a spoon held against the rim of the glass. This helps the cream to float on top of the cocktail.
5. Optionally, give it a gentle stir to mix the cream slightly into the drink.
