Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
- 1 oz (30 ml) coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 oz (30 ml) heavy cream (can substitute with half-and-half or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- Ice cubes (preferably large cubes)
- Optional garnish: freshly grated nutmeg or a coffee bean
Instructions
- Fill your glass with 4-5 large ice cubes (about 120-150 grams).
- Pour 2 oz (60 ml) vodka gently over the ice.
- Add 1 oz (30 ml) coffee liqueur carefully.
- Slowly pour 1 oz (30 ml) heavy cream over the back of a spoon onto the drink to create a layered effect, or pour and stir for a blended creamy texture.
- Gently stir to combine the ingredients without melting too much ice.
- Garnish with a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg or a single coffee bean, if desired.
Notes
Use large ice cubes to slow melting and avoid dilution. Keep cream cold for silky texture. Pour cream slowly over the back of a spoon for a layered look. Chill your glass ahead of time for best results. Avoid over-stirring to maintain creaminess. For dairy-free versions, substitute heavy cream with coconut or oat cream and use dairy-free coffee liqueur.
