Ingredients
For the Cocktail:
2 oz vodka
1 oz coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
1 oz marshmallow-flavored vodka (optional but highly recommended for extra s’mores flavor)
For Garnishing:
Graham crackers (crushed into fine crumbs, about 2 tablespoons)
Chocolate syrup (for rimming the glass and drizzling)
Mini marshmallows (about 5-6 for topping)
Skewered marshmallows (toasted, optional)
Whipped cream (optional, for added indulgence)
Tools Needed:
Cocktail shaker
Rocks or old-fashioned glass
Skewer for marshmallows
Small plates or bowls for chocolate syrup and graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Begin by preparing your glass for the cocktail. Pour some chocolate syrup onto a small plate and graham cracker crumbs onto another. Dip the rim of your chosen glass first into the chocolate syrup and then into the graham cracker crumbs, ensuring the rim is evenly coated for a deliciously crunchy garnish.
Step 2: Take a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice cubes. Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, marshmallow-flavored vodka (if using), and heavy cream to the shaker. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. This ensures that all the flavors are well combined, and the drink is chilled to perfection.
Step 3: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice cubes, leaving enough room for the cocktail. Strain the mixed drink from the shaker into the glass, allowing it to cascade over the ice. The creamy mixture should settle beautifully, creating an inviting layer of flavor.
Step 4: Enhance the presentation with garnishes. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top of the drink in a zigzag or spiral pattern for visual appeal. Add mini marshmallows to the top of the drink, letting them float on the creamy surface. For an authentic campfire touch, skewer additional marshmallows and toast them over a flame using a kitchen torch or stovetop. Carefully place the skewer across the rim of the glass as a finishing touch.
Step 5: Serve your S’mores White Russian immediately with a straw or cocktail stirrer, inviting your guests to enjoy the drink and its delightful garnish.
Notes
Ensure that all your ingredients are chilled beforehand to maintain the drink’s temperature and creamy consistency. Use high-quality vodka and coffee liqueur for a smoother taste and richer flavor profile. The graham cracker rim not only enhances the drink’s aesthetic but also adds a delightful crunch with every sip. Toasting marshmallows slightly elevates their flavor, giving them a caramelized touch that complements the sweetness of the cocktail. For an elevated presentation, use a chilled glass to keep the drink colder for longer.
