A quick and easy guide to making this indulgent vodka-based cocktail at home.
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls ice
- 35ml/1¼fl oz vodka
- 15ml/1 tbsp coffee liqueur
- 25ml/1fl oz double cream
Method
-
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then pour the vodka and coffee liqueur into the shaker.
-
A ‘wet shake’ (with ice) is required here to combine the ingredients. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds. This will ensure the drink has a lovely smooth texture.
-
Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a rocks glass over fresh ice. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.
-
Float the cream on the top of the drink by gently pouring it over the back of a spoon.
