  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 oz coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 1 oz vodka
  • 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 oz heavy cream
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (for garnish)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Combine Coffee Liqueur and Vodka In an old-fashioned glass or a tumbler, add the coffee liqueur and vodka. Stir gently to combine the flavors.

Step 2: Add Ice and Cream Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the heavy cream over the top, allowing it to swirl into the coffee liqueur and vodka mixture. This adds a beautiful layered effect to the drink.

Step 3: Add the Ice Cream Carefully place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the drink. The ice cream will slowly melt into the cocktail, adding a rich creaminess that enhances the overall flavor.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve Top the White Russian Float with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of decadence. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, add a bit more coffee liqueur or a drizzle of simple syrup.
  • Ice Cream Tip: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream for the best flavor and creaminess. You can also experiment with other ice cream flavors, like caramel or chocolate.
  • Chill the Glass: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes before preparing the drink.
