  • Fill a rocks glass with ice cubes to chill it.
  • Pour the vodka and coffee liqueur over the ice.
  • Gently stir the mixture with a bar spoon or cocktail stirrer to combine the flavors.
  • Slowly pour the fresh cream over the back of a spoon, allowing it to float on top of the drink.
  • Give the drink a quick stir to lightly blend the cream into the mixture.
  • Optionally, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or a coffee bean on top.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, velvety goodness of your homemade White Russian!

Notes

Note: For a lighter version, you can use low-fat milk or almond milk instead of fresh cream. Adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences. Cheers!
