  • 20ml/¾fl oz coffee liqueur
  • handful ice
  • orange slices, to garnish (optional)

Method

  1. Pour the vodka and coffee liqueur into a rocks glass full of ice.

  2. Give the drink a gentle little stir to combine the ingredients to your desired dilution.

  3. Garnish with an orange slice or two if using.
