Description

A sweet and creamy twist on the classic White Russian cocktail, this Caramelized White Russian combines smooth vodka, rich coffee liqueur, and luscious caramel sauce topped with silky cream for a decadent holiday drink.


Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (Kahlúa)
  • 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half

Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp caramel sauce
  • Ice


Instructions

  1. Fill Glass with Ice: Fill your serving glass completely with ice cubes to chill the cocktail and maintain its refreshing temperature.
  2. Add Vodka and Coffee Liqueur: Pour 1 oz of vodka and 1 oz of coffee liqueur over the ice, forming the base of your cocktail with balanced alcoholic flavors.
  3. Mix in Caramel Sauce: Stir in 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce until fully dissolved, infusing the drink with rich sweetness.
  4. Top With Cream: Slowly pour 1 oz of heavy cream or half-and-half over the back of a spoon or gently on top so it floats and creates a creamy layer.
  5. Serve Immediately: Present your Caramelized White Russian immediately for the best taste and texture. Optionally, garnish by swirling extra caramel sauce inside the glass for a decorative touch.

Notes

  • Swirl the glass with extra caramel sauce before adding ice for an attractive presentation.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream or half-and-half with coconut milk.
