Preparation

Step 1:

Prepare your glass. Take an old-fashioned or rocks glass and drizzle some butterscotch syrup or caramel syrup inside the glass, allowing it to form decorative streaks. This adds both visual appeal and extra flavor.

Step 2:

Fill the glass with ice cubes, about halfway to three-quarters full. Ice is essential for chilling the cocktail and diluting it slightly to achieve a balanced flavor.

Step 3:

Pour the vodka, coffee liqueur, and butterscotch schnapps over the ice. The combination of these three spirits creates a smooth, sweet, and coffee-flavored base that pairs wonderfully with cream.

Step 4:

Gently pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon so that it floats on top of the alcohol mixture. This creates the classic layered look of a White Russian. You can also stir the drink gently if you prefer the cream to be more integrated.

Step 5:

Optional: Top the drink with a dollop of whipped cream and a light drizzle of butterscotch syrup for an extra touch of indulgence. This step makes the drink more of a dessert cocktail, perfect for a special treat.
