  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 oz (60 ml) vodka

2 oz (60 ml) coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)

2 oz (60 ml) heavy cream or half-and-half

Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Start by filling an old-fashioned rocks glass with ice cubes. This will keep your White Russian cocktail cold.
  2. Pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of vodka over the ice in the glass.
  3. Next, pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa) into the glass.
  4. Then pour 2 ounces (60 ml) of heavy cream or half-and-half over the back of a spoon or by drizzling it gently over the coffee liqueur. This creates a beautiful layering effect with the cream floating on top of the darker liquids.
  5. Use a cocktail stirrer or a long spoon to gently stir the ingredients together. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as you want to maintain the layered appearance with the cream on top.
